INTEGRATING AIR FLOW COUNTER FOR HIGH VOLUME AIR SAMPLER

production of activated charcoal sampler tubes for sampling air contaminants

the importance of the use of activated charcoal tubes for sampling gases and vapors is very well-known. for producing these tubes in the country, their production started in the laboratory of the department of occupation al health using activated charcoal, polyurethane foam and glass wool and consequently two types of foamed and foamless tubes were produced. to investigate the quality of the ra...

Integrating Air Handling Units in Office Buildings for High Performance

Evaluation of a passive air sampler for measuring indoor formaldehyde.

A passive air sampler, using 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, was evaluated for the determination of formaldehyde in indoor environments. Chromatography paper cleaned using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution was experimentally determined as being the optimum absorption filter for the collection of formaldehyde (0.05 microg cm(-2) formaldehyde). From a linear-regression analysis betwe...

Monitoring of air radioactivity at the Jungfraujoch research station: test of a new high volume aerosol sampler.

The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (SFOPH) is responsible for the surveillance of environmental radioactivity in Switzerland and for the protection of the public from ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. In order to improve the Swiss radioactivity monitoring network, a new high volume air sampler (DIGITEL DHA-80) was tested in Fribourg and at the Jungfraujoch High Altitude Research Stati...

development of a 2-d numerical model for simulation of air distribution in high speed air water flow

in the present study a quasi 2-d numerical model is developed for calculating air concentration distribution in rapid flows. the model solves air continuity equation (convection diffusion equation) in the whole flow domain. this solution is then coupled with calculations of the free surface in which air content in the flow is also considered. to verify the model, its results are compared with a...
