New Noise Awareness Course Programme Launched
New Noise Nuisance Recorder Landed
Cirrus Research (UK), is pleased to announce the launch of its new noise nuisance recorder, the Trojan. Local authorities and housing associations across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom now have a simple, accurate, and ultra compact noise nuisance recorder at their disposal.
Following last year’s tremendous success, Pulsar Instruments plc (UK) are launching a new training programme for its popular noise awareness courses. The ‘one day events’ are designed for professionals from any background seeking an understanding of the key issues relating to the measurement and control of noise in the workplace. Pulsar is celebrating its 41st year in business this year and is drawing from its extensive experience of the noise measurement industry. The workshop program covers areas such as basic noise theory, the terminology used in noise measurement and also The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 and BS4142 Method for Rating Industrial Noise Affecting Mixed Residential and Industrial Areas’. It also offers an interactive practical session where delegates get the opportunity to make some noise measurements under the guidance of experienced professionals. Previous delegates have made the following comments: ‘The range of content covered is very impressive. My knowledge has been expanded significantly” “I enjoyed meeting other Health & Safety Officers and having the opportunity to use the Pulsar doseBadge system to establish whether the kit met our perceived requirements” “The course helped me understand the many abbreviations etc and how to download my noise measurement data effectively”

Drawing on Cirrus Research’s 40 years of experience the company has ensured that the Trojan meets and exceeds its customers’ expectations. James Tingay, Group Marketing Manager at Cirrus Research Ltd explains: “A noise nuisance recorder is an extremely valuable piece of equipment for local authorities and housing associations to use as it provides the means of monitoring whether a noise complaint by a local resident is credible. It is therefore vital that the recorder is as simple as physically possible to use and that the measured noise is accurate. We believe the Trojan does just that; it provides the latest technological innovation and added functionality that is necessary for environmental noise to be accurately measured.”
James continues: “One of the major issues with other noise nuisance recorders currently on the market is that they can be complex to use and difficult to configure. With the Trojan, we’ve gone for simplicity over complexity. When the instrument is inside the small black box it is connected to an interface. When this is connected, the instrument recognises that it is plugged in and switches to noise nuisance mode. This configures the instrument automatically to give the functions and features needed, removing the need for any setup or configuration.”

Air Quality Monitor Measures Dust and VOCs
The EVM from Shawcity (UK) is a rugged and easy to use environmental monitor which combines several instruments in one. With the capability to simultaneously measure and datalog particulates, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), toxic gas, carbon dioxide, relative humidity, temperature and air velocity the EVM-7 provides a cost effective solution and reduces the need for multiple instruments. This versatility enables it to be used in the industrial, commercial and education sectors.
A unique dial-in impactor allows easy selection of particulate settings. A built-in sampling pump assists in the collection of dust and a photometer provides real-time measurement. A standard 37 mm filter cassette offers gravimetric sampling and laboratory analysis.
Using a high-performance PhotoIonisation Detector (PID) EVM-7 measures volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Combined with the ability to also simultaneously measure carbon dioxide and another toxic gas, it helps to identify air quality issues.
Additionally, EVM-7 uses smart sensor technology, which offers automatic sensor recognition at power-on, calibration levels, service dates, temperature compensation and other sensor specific data.
Sampling sessions and studies stored in the internal memory can later be downloaded into datalogging software for analysis, charting and graphing.

MSA’s Altair 4X available from a1-envirosciences (UK) is the most technological advanced portable gas detector on the marketwhich offers reliable multi-gas
combustible gas with exclusive safety features -
detection measuring O2, H2S, CO and
MotionAlert and InstantAlert. A rugged housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to survive a 6m drop test onto concrete and a rugged housing IP 67 (dust and water resistant). With large, glove-friendly buttons and a high-contrast display, the ALTAIR 4X is easy to operate in any work environment, even low-light conditions as it is available in a phosphorescent housing. The XCell Sensors - Superior stability, accuracy, repeatability and fast response characterise the new MSA XCell sensors. They are remarkably long-lasting and designed for an average life of more than four years. An end-of- sensor-life indicator gives advanced warning to user, eliminating service outages.
Microelectronics inside the sensor lead to faster response and calibration times.
