An Aethalometer® uses continuous optical analysis to determine the black carbon concentration in the aerosol deposited on a filter from the sample air stream. Applications for the Aethalometer include
Air Quality monitoring • Emissions testing • Climate Change research
Health Effects research • Combustion research
The microAeth® family include:
- The microAeth® AL30 is a real-time, pocket-sized Black Carbon aerosol monitor. Palm size and portable and can be worn on-person.
- The microAeth® AL80 is a real-time Black Carbon aerosol monitor which comes in an outdoor rated enclosure with insulation, sampling inlet protection, and sun shield.
- The Scout SD1 is a real-time, low-cost multi-pollutant air monitor featuring dual PM sensors. Compact and highly capable device measures a variety of air quality parameters, providing detailed and actionable data in real-time.
-
Multi-wavelength microAeth® series (MA200, MA300 and MA350) with advanced features to provide insight into the composition of light absorbing carbonaceous particles integrated into compact, lightweight form.
