Specifications for Non-Continuous Particulate Matter of

2.5 Micrometers or Less Speciation Monitor

Description: Instrumentation requirements for non-continuous monitoring of suspended particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) in ambient air on a filter for chemical speciation and gravimetric analyses by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved methods.

MINIMUM GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

1. Must meet U.S. EPA approved methods for sample collection and speciation analysis of PM2.5 mass, trace metals, organic carbon, elemental carbon, sulfate, nitrate, other ions, and elements.

2. Must accept 47-millimeter standard EPA-pattern white Delrin filter cassettes.

3. Must include a control box with a color graphic touchscreen user interface in a weatherproof enclosure.

4. Must include onboard datalogging capabilities to record ambient temperature, filter temperature, sample start and stop dates and times, sampler status, volumetric flow rate, and sample volume at five-minute averaging intervals.

5. Must include USB and Ethernet data collection ports and memory capacity up to 32 gigabytes.

6. Must include a stand or tripod with platform-mounting feet and mast.

7. Must include a sharp cut cyclone with a flow of 6.7 liters per minute to remove solid and liquid coarse particles greater than PM2.5 without use of impacting grease or oil.

8. Must include multi-cell denuders with magnesium oxide, sodium carbonate, and citric to scrub specific gaseous compounds including nitric acid.

9. Must be programmable to collect 24-hour sequential samples to allow for one-to-eight-day sequential sampling.

10. Must include independently operated channels with automated volumetric flow controllers with flow accuracy of plus 0.1 to negative 0.2 liters per minute.

11. Must include solar shields to maintain sampling cassettes to less than 5 degrees

Celsius over ambient temperature
