Reader Reply Card No. Fine Dust Monitoring System
The Fidas continuous ambient air quality monitoring system from Filter Integrity (UK) provides simultaneous measurements of PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, TSP (PMtot), of particle number concentration and particle size distribution. The concentrations are measured by single particle optical light scattering, using a LED light source.
The system is currently being tested with regard to its suitability and equivalency according to EN 12341, EN 14907 and the equivalency guideline. European Certification is expected after successful completion of the tests to EN 15267-1 & -2.
All Fidas versions are equipped with an integrated datalogger, large touchscreen with graphical user interface and multiple interfaces (e.g. WLAN, LAN, USB, RS- 232/485). For flexible hot spot measurements (e.g. workplace monitoring, IAQ in different rooms), a portable version with built-in battery has been developed.
By providing the particle size and number, the Fidas bridges the gap between conventional mass concentration based monitoring, modern source apportionment and health effect studies. Additionally, it is the right instrument for regulatory air quality monitoring stations as well as for scientific propagation and distribution studies.

Flue Gas Analysis for Real Professionals
How can the term “Flue Gas Analysis which leaves no wishes unfulfilled” can be put in to few letters? Ecom-J2KNpro from AS Technical Solutions (UK) is the answer to this question. Since last year the new series of J instruments is available with the well know features like the remote control which can operate the instruments via long distance and even override construction barriers as well as the build in soot measurement. New features are the heated sensor plate which avoids condensate formation and allows the better operation at cold temperatures and the additional display of important values and status information at the base module.
The J2KN pro can be connected to the PC wirelessly and offers all possibilities for data recording and data analysis. With the new generation of the J2KN pro the user has the option to add an under case to the transport case for carrying additional tools.
The J2KN pro is available ex stock in different types. The accessories are completed by a new accumulator box for a mains power independent measurement period of up to 8 hours.

In response to public sector cutbacks,
instrumentation company Air Monitors (UK) has announced that it will lower the cost of ambient air monitoring consumables until the end of 2012.
Managing Director
Jim Mills says “Our customers in the ambient monitoring market are going through a tough time, so we believe it is our responsibility to help them out; we already sell filters and other consumables at substantially lower prices than our competitors, but for the rest of this year we will make a further reduction of 10%.”
As a result of this initiative, the price for a box of 10, genuine TX40 TEOM Filters, for example, will drop from £169 to £152 + VAT, or from £334 to £300 + VAT for a box of 20. Similarly, the price of a box of 100, genuine TX40 47mm FDMS Filters will drop from £210 to £189 + VAT.
In November last year Air Monitors issued a warning concerning the appearance of sub-standard filters on the market and Jim Mills suspects that these filters are still being offered in some places. He says "I hope that our low prices will ensure that customers are not tempted to try these poor quality imitations, because the use of genuine Thermo Scientific parts protects the quality and reliability of data from the UK's TEOM and TEOM/FDMS particulate monitoring systems.
“Sub-standard filters have resulted in poor monitoring performance that is characterised by noisy data, offsets and erroneous concentrations. Anybody with doubts about the quality of their filters or the prices being charged, should contact the Air Monitors helpline”
Summarising, Jim says “Local Authorities and other customers running ambient monitors, need to keep a close eye on the costs of all parts, consumables and after-sales service, so I hope that our pricing initiative will enable clients to maintain the quality and integrity of their monitoring data.”
