Term: High Volume Sampler
Definition: An instrument used for sampling large volumes of air, typically using a filter to collect particulate matter over extended periods, such as 8 hours.
Term: Realtime Monitoring
Definition: Technologies that enable continuous tracking of pollution levels, providing immediate data to regulatory agencies for timely actions.
Term: Cascade Impactor
Definition: A device that separates particles based on size through multiple stages, allowing for detailed analysis of particle size distribution.
Term: Beta Gauge Monitor
Definition: A real-time analysis device that measures the attenuation of light transmitted through a filter paper as particles deposit, providing PM concentration data.
Term: Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS)
Definition: A sophisticated instrument that uses time of flight to determine particle sizes based on their momentum and velocity.
