TSI’s Environmental DustTrak™ Aerosol Monitor Achieves MCERTS Certification

MCERTS certified models now available for PM2.5, PM10 and total PM, respectively

TSI Incorporated, a global leader in aerosol instrumentation, expands its innovative line of Environmental DustTrak™ Aerosol Monitors , now offering three additional models which meet the United Kingdom's environmental agency Monitoring Certification Scheme (MCERTS) for indicative ambient particulate monitors. MCERTS is based on International and European emissions standards and is the framework for these quality requirements.

The Environmental DustTrak is a real-time, near-reference solution used for facilitating long-term outdoor environmental monitoring, easily and accurately. Conveniently packaged in three configurations, these aerosol monitors are easy to setup and can quickly begin monitoring levels of PM10, PM2.5 or both simultaneously. MCERTS-certified models are now available for measuring PM10, PM2.5 and total PM, respectively.

The entire system is housed in a compact, weather-proof enclosure for protection of the newly enhanced Environmental DustTrak MCERTS photometer. With the addition of a heated inlet, longer runtimes and reliable measurement accuracy with the ability to accommodate for varying temperatures and humidity is enabled. Additional space inside the enclosure also permits the option to add other third party, plug-and-play sensors to suit specific monitoring needs. Combine it with the Cloud Data Management System for an all-in-one multi-parameter ambient monitoring system that sends alerts via text and email when established ambient concentration limits are exceeded.

"As the evidence of outdoor health concerns associated with PM10 and PM2.5 exposure continues to mount, TSI is excited to offer a flexible environmental sampling platform that exceeds market needs and expectations," said Steve Boehm, Sr. Global Product Manager at TSI. "The MCERTS certification on our three new models offer our customers an affordable outdoor aerosol monitoring solution for compliance applications."
