Greenhouse gases

Automatic gas pollutant analyzers​

Automatic analyzer for greenhouse gas measurements (Picarro-CARDS)

Dry and Wet deposition

Dry and Wet deposition​

Dry deposition samples are collected every 2 weeks and Wet deposition samples per events,
all samplers analyze for:

  1. Ions by ion chromatography
    (Cl-, NO3-, SO4-2, C2O4-2, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+)
  2. Metals by ICP-OES or ICP-MS
    (Pb, Ni, As, Cd, Hg, Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Sb, V, Zn)
  3. Soluble Particulate Carbon and Particulate Organic Nitrogen (TOC – TON)
  4. Iron, phosphorus (techniques using UV spectrophotometer)

Aerosol sampler

Aerosol sampler​

  • PM1 sampler
    Intermediate-volume aerosol sampler PM1 (80 l/min)
  • VI-(Virtual Impactor) low-volume-impactor
    Aerosol sampler impactor for coarse part (PM1-PM10) and fine part (<PM1)
  • SDI (Small Deposit area Impactors)
    low-volume-Impactor
    Aerosol sampler impactor for 12 collecting stages over the particle size range from 0.041-10 µm.

 

The aerosol filters analyze for:

  1. Ions by ion chromatography (Cl-, NO3-, SO4-2, C2O4-2, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+)
  2. Metals by ICP-OES or ICP-MS (Pb, Ni, As, Cd, Hg, Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Sb, V, Zn)
  3. Elemental Carbon and Organic Carbon (EC, OC) by sunset analyzer
