Environmental News Network: Improving air quality in clean and dirty places could potentially avoid millions of pollution-related deaths each year. That finding comes from a team of environmental engineering and public health researchers who developed a global model of how changes in outdoor air pollution could lead to changes in the rates of health problems such as heart attack, stroke and lung cancer. Outdoor particulate air pollution results in 3.2 million premature deaths annually, more than the combined impact of...

Air Quality Station measures gaseous pollutants to ppb level.
2015-05-27 14:31:06| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Weighing less than 1 kg, E4100 measures up to 4 gases – CO, NO, NO2, SO2, H2S, O3, and VOCs – in addition to such basic weather data as humidity, atmospheric pressure, and temperature. Particle counter, also available, includes particle measurements PM 2.5 and PM10 for particles smaller than 2.5 and 10 µm dia. All measurement data can be sent to Web-based database or proprietary systems via wireless Internet connection.
