x UK Focus - Air Monitoring Textile Greenhouse Gas Emissions can now be Monitored
BSI, the business standards company, has developed PAS 2395 for the assessment of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from textiles. The collaboration with the Korean National Cleaner Production Center (KNCPC) aims to assist the consistent application of generic methodologies for GHG emissions assessment to the textile products sector.
PAS 2395 deals with the entire life cycle of any products manufactured substantially from textiles and provides a robust and repeatable assessment of the emissions. It supplements PAS 2050 Carbon Footprinting which assesses the life cycle GHG emissions of goods and services, but can be used independently of PAS 2050.
The supplementary requirements within PAS 2395 can provide: Textile product focus for aspects of the assessment where supplementary requirements are permitted and could prove benefi cial to assessment outcomes, Rules or assessment requirements that are directly relevant to the main sources of emissions from textile products, Clarity on how to uniformly apply specifi c elements of assessment methodologies within the textile products industrial sector, and Enhanced synergy between the assessment outcomes provided by different methodologies.
David Fatscher Head of Market Development for Sustainability at BSI said: “Textile products are available globally, so PAS 2395 should be applicable to all businesses and organizations who want to assess emissions from textile products. Therefore everyone from the greenhouse gas community and environmental consultants, to government and manufacturers, globally, will benefi t from this guidance.”
PAS 2395 has had input from experts within the textile fabrication and manufacture, dyeing, waste management, retail and supply industries as well as the dry cleaning and washing appliances fi elds. Contributions came from such organisations as: Best Foot Forward, Cotton Incorporated, Korean Agency for
Technology and Standards, Korea National Cleaner Production Center, Society of Dyers and Colourists, The Textile Institute and Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP).
The primary objective of this standard is to provide greater clarity on how the GHG emissions from the various processes, such as land use, raw material sourcing, energy use and end of life recovery or disposal, can affect the textile products under assessment.
Dr Yo-Han Choi Technical Author of PAS 2395 said: “PAS 2395 is a very valuable document for guidance due to the fact that its application is so far reaching. For example the aim of the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) is to have Korean, Chinese and Japanese versions to service the Far East Asian countries and enable organisations to identify a preferred GHG assessment methodology from a predetermined list of internationally applicable methods.”

The Corvus IAQ monitor utilises unrivalled, highly sensitive technology detecting VOCs down to low part-per-billion (ppb) levels measuring compounds with its 10.6 eV lamp. Corvus includes sensors for temperature, barometric pressure and humidity helping to identify the actual source of VOCs present. Corvus continuously monitors and data logs high quality data for detailed analysis. The collection of long-term information eliminates the need for frequent site visits and spot checks, saving both time and money. The Corvus IAQ monitor utilises intelligent interactive mapping software showing real trend data captured from each room, giving a true picture of what is really happening within the environment. Data can be downloaded from a group of up to 20 Corvus monitors, but managed via just one instrument. Small, sleek and compact in design, Corvus allows deployment of multiple monitors around the building via wireless connectivity, whilst blending well into the environment and using minimal space. The instrument’s PID sensor technology has been independently verifi ed as best performing for speed, accuracy and humidity resistance operation. It unique anti-contamination and patented Fence Electrode Technology provide extended run time in the most challenging environments, giving you accurate and reliable results. Typical gases Corvus detects include Benzene, Ethyl Benzene, Styrene, Tetrachloroethylene, Trimethylbenzene, Toluene and Xylene. Corvus is supplied with an exclusive range of accessories and available from Ion Science Ltd.

The Remote Solution to Air Pollution
Environmental considerations are key requirements of construction projects, with clean air and reduced dust levels being of considerable important.
Stroud based Enviro Technology Services plc, working in partnership with Dexdyne Ltd has introduced a new product that enables accurate and instant remote airborne dust monitoring - the Construction Dust Monitor (CDM).
A marriage of cutting edge laser dust scatter and web-enabled communications technology presents a unique and economical application which leads the way for effi cient remote monitoring of nuisance and potentially health damaging dust particles.
The web-enabled Remote Communications Terminal (RCT) accurately logs real-time dust particle concentrations and optional wind speed, wind direction and temperature. Data can be securely retrieved by any web-enabled device. Access is available at any time and from any global location allowing remote monitoring and control of activity at various sites.
The small, stand-alone monitor is designed for outdoors use. The recording unit has no moving parts, eliminating risk and mechanical failure. Its robust I/O board protects against external malfunctions. Electrical surges do not affect operation and its industrial grade communications technology guarantees data safety.
“We are excited to be collaborating with Enviro Technology Services to provide a system that allows real time monitoring whilst reducing the risk in the workplace in accordance with COSHH” says Bharat Gupta, Managing Director of Dexdyne.
The CDM remote air pollution application is a complete solution for construction, quarrying, aggregates and bulk-handling.
