Air Quality Monitoring
Unhealthy air quality
Every day, unhealthy air quality affects lives of millions of people all over the world. Numerous studies have shown correlation between particle concentration and adverse health effects especially for sensitive groups of people. Whereas regulated fine particle concentration values in air often focus only on PM10 and PM2.5, a more detailed determination of particle characteristics if often needed to fully understand the link between PM and their effect on human health. To determine the source of the particles in the air, it may be important to measure not only size but also particle size distribution and chemical composition of the particles in the air.
In addition to outdoor air quality, indoor air quality can also pose a risk to peoples’ health as people spend more time indoors. Personal exposure to particles e.g. in workplaces depends largely on the type of work people do and what, if any, protective equipment they wear. Real-time monitoring of the exposure if often crucial to understand the exposure in detail.
Air quality particle measurement solutions
Dekati® Solutions for air quality particle measurements include both air quality monitoring and atmospheric aerosol research instruments. Our aerosol measurement solutions have been successfully used in various ambient aerosol research and monitoring areas for over 25 years and today, our instruments are used globally by thousands of customers both in research and industry to measure different properties of airborne particles <10 µm.
Dekati® measurement instruments are capable of measuring both low and high concentrations, allowing the use of the same instrument for measurements in urban, rural and remote areas. Dekati® measurement instruments and sample conditioning systems provide options for the real-time monitoring of particulate mass, number, or the lung-deposited surface area (LDSA) of the particles, and for total concentration and particle size distribution measurements. Our selection of instruments enables gravimetric and chemical analysis of size classified particles, PM10 – 2.5 – 1.0 measurements and real-time particle size distribution monitoring. Dekati can offer complete measurement solutions for different and even demanding environments both indoors and outdoors.
