Make Ultra-fine Particles Visible in the Air

Company Addair in France, a long-term partner of Palas® in Germany, makes nano-to-micron aerosol particles in the air visible. This will help to decrease ultra-fine particle (UFP) in the air and reduce to harm people’s health. How do they achieve that?

Addair has successfully met this challenge with the Palas® UFP system. The highly-acclaimed Palas® U-SMPS Universal Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer and the ENVI-CPC 100 Condensation Particle Counter were used in the Air Quality Network of France. They provided long-term stable data on UFP concentration and size distribution for analysis, making them the trustworthy choice for French ambient air quality monitoring.

Participant in ambient air quality monitoring in France

The need for the monitoring and classification of UFP continues to emerge at a rapid pace. So the Air Quality Networks in France required additional UFP monitoring devices. The wide measurement range required devices which have simplified operation processes and support remote control. Therefore the operator needn’t stay on site. Addair has long been recognized for its expertise and products associated with aerosol and gas metrology. This time, Addair chose the Palas® UFP system to provide an excellent solution for the Air Quality Networks in France.

The Palas® Universal Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers and the ENVI-CPC 100 Condensation Particle Counters can be seen in many cities such as Paris, Lyon and Marseille. As a participant in French ambient air quality monitoring, Palas® will continue to make UFP in the air visible. Its action will optimize the Air Quality Networks in France and help people learn about the air quality situation well.

The Choice for UFP Monitoring

The Palas® UFP system complies with CEN/TS 16976: 2016 and CEN/TS 17434:2020. The system can record and transmit stable monitoring data on the UFP number concentration and particle number size distribution. Its butanol vapor remover effectively solves technical problems. And it can be adjusted to the customer needs. In addition, Palas® has researched aerosol monitoring for many years, and people are willing to work with and get used to the Palas® instruments. Long-term recognition and competitive price make the Palas® UFP system a good choice for UFP monitoring in France.

UFP concentrations monitoring (ENVI-CPC System)

Outstanding Palas® devices

The Palas® U-SMPS System and the ENVI-CPC 100 Condensation Particle Counter can operate in combination. The data on UFP number concentration and particle size distribution can be provided. They can be flexibly combined and networked according to different needs. In addition, the Palas® UFP system supports DMA, CPC and other aerosol electrometers. It can be remotely controlled and unattended for long-term aerosol research, climate research and filter test. It also supports workplace measurements or combustion monitoring to help meet the challenges posed by ultrafine pollutants.
