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: http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-AIR/2008/March/Day-12/a4905.htm
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.
