HAZ-DUST EPAM-5000 ENVIRONMENTAL PARTICULATE AIR MONITORS
Description
The HAZ-DUST EPAM-5000 is a portable microprocessorbased particulate monitor suitable for ambient, environmental, and indoor air quality investigations. Highly sensitive, this monitor uses light scattering to measure particle concentration and provide immediate real-time determinations and data recordings of airborne particle concentration in mg/m3 . Interchangeable size-selective impactors allow PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 monitoring; TSP measuring does not require an impactor. The EPAM-5000’s unique aerodynamic particle sizing and 47-mm in-line fi lter holder loaded with appropriate fi lter provide concurrent gravimetric sampling. Sample for up to 24 hours on one battery and store up to 15 months of monitoring data. Download and store sampling data on a PC for further analysis using included DustComm Professional Software. Trend analysis and reporting can also be generated. The EPAM-5000 offers a network software option for Windows and Apple.
