Description

The Environmentally protected Beta Attenuation Monitor (E-BAM) provides real time mass measurement of selected size particles in ambient air samples. This instrument is used in national and local air monitoring networks to provide continuous data on the mass concentrations of various potential measurements including total suspended particulates (TSP), particulate matter (PM) of 10μm, 2.5μm, or 1μm aerodynamic diameter and less in ground level ambient air. The procedure described in this document is for the operation of E-BAM samplers reporting data to the NAPS and AENV network.

Description

This procedure describes the operation and maintenance of the Meteorological Instruments of Canada (MIC) precipitation collector. The MIC precipitation collector has been configured for a variety of applications including Mercury deposition sampling. The collector is simple and versatile for wet and dry deposition collection. The collector is triggered by wet deposition via the wetness sensor, which opens the cover to the wet deposition collector. If it is configured with a dry deposition collector, the cover then covers the dry deposition collector during rain events.
