LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS FORM GREEN PARTNERSHIP - BAM-1020 PM-2.5 Monitor to provide data

The Clean Air Board of Central Pennsylvania (CAB), The Sentinel and The Carlisle Regional Medical Center (CRMC) have formed a partnership to protect the health of residents living, working, studying and playing in the Greater Carlisle, Pennsylvania area by providing them with information that will allow them to make informed decisions. This Fall, CAB will install a Met One BAM-1020, an EPA certified air quality monitor, to provide data in real-time on an ongoing basis of PM 2.5 fine particulate. Pollution levels will be printed in the newspaper daily and posted on The Sentinel’s website continuously. See the recent article in The Sentinel.

BAM-1020 MONITOR RECEIVES USEPA PM-2.5 FEDERAL EQUIVALENT METHOD (FEM) DESIGNATION (EQPM–0308–170)

Met One Instruments has made history by becoming the first instrument manufacturer ever to successfully be awarded USEPA Class III equivalency designation for a continuous PM-2.5 particulate monitor. The BAM-1020 beta attenuation mass monitor has been assigned USEPA designation EQPM-0308-170, notice of which was published in the US Federal Register on March 12, 2008:

The implication of this achievement is very significant as it will allow state, local and tribal air monitoring agencies currently performing PM-2.5 surveillance using conventional samplers for regulatory enforcement purposes to replace these samplers with the BAM‑1020. Manual samplers for PM-2.5, which typically are operated on one-in-three or one-in-six day sampling schedules in which results were often not known for weeks or months after the event, may now be replaced with the BAM-1020 monitor. The BAM‑1020 monitor produces reliable, accurate, continuous, hourly results in real time. Elevated PM-2.5 events can be determined as they occur (instead of weeks after the fact), which will allow government officials to take timely mitigating action. Daily (vs. one-in-six day) PM‑2.5 averages will be available and network operational costs may be substantially reduced.
