Fine Dust
Measurement
The DioxinMonitoringSystem® was basically developed for the sampling of dioxin concentrations in flue
gas of incinerators.
Later, based on intensive research and field testing, the concept was extended
to:
- sampling periods of 6 hours up to 6 weeks
- sampling of other organic POPs (dioxinlike PCBs, PAHs)
- sample the particulate fractions
To sample the particulate fractions an impactor cartridge is used, which has cutpoints at 10 µm and 2,5 µm.
After the end of the respective sampling periode, the dust mass is analysed using a
precision balance.
To analyse the
particle fractions more in detail, a particle counter can be connected to the mixing chamber of the cartridge. Using this methode, particulates
from 5 nm up to 30 µm can be dertemined.
