Airborne hazardous substances – Fine Dust Analysis System

Air Monitors Ltd says it has taken a major step forward in ambient dust monitoring technology with the development of the Fine Dust Analysis System (FIDAS), which is said to offer information on both particle size distribution — from 0.18-30 microns — and on particle number in each size range.

It also provides continuous real-time, simultaneous mass concentration measurements of TSP, PM1, PM2.5 and PM10. As such, the company says, FIDAS will complement existing PM monitoring technology, such as TEOM FDMS.

The FIDAS instrument uses a white-light LED light-scatter method, and so does not require consumables or mains power, nor needs to be contained in an air-conditioned housing.
