Airborne particles consist of a mixture of solid matterand liquid droplets. Quantifying the concentration ofparticles in indoor air can give important informationabout:

• Air quality• Pollutant sources• Effectiveness of pollution controlmeasures• Filter efficiency

Real-Time Particle MeasurementThe ParticleScan Lite uses laser technology to measureparticle concentrations in ambient air. The instrumentcontinuously samples and analyzes the concentration ofairborne particles and displays an updated readingevery six seconds on the easy to read LED display. Thisenables the user to monitor particle concentrationchanges as they occur. It also allows individual pollutionsources to be tracked down by using the ParticleScan asa“particle sniffer”.

High SensitivityThe ParticleScan Lite can identify single particles,making it farmore sensitive thanphotometers andotherparticle monitors,which identify only particle clouds.

Evaluate Air Cleaning PerformanceThe ParticleScan Lite allows you to evaluate theefficiency of air filters and air cleaning equipment forparticulate contaminants. By taking readings at the airintake and the air outlet of an air cleaning system, youare able to calculate the true particle removal efficiencyof the system:

% Efficiency = 1- x 100

Note: To get a picture of the true performance,measureat highest fan speed.

Improving Indoor Air QualityBegin by sampling the areas of concern and record therelative particle levels in each area.Make sure to includeareas with both acceptable and unacceptable indoor airquality alongwith outdoor reference levels. In areaswiththe highest particle concentration, use the ParticleScanto locate the particle source and take corrective steps toeliminate, or reduce the source. Once remediation iscomplete, go on to areas with the next highest particlelevels and repeat the process.
