2020ppbPRO
|
Superior VOC Detection in the Harshest Environments
2020ppbPRO, stable, linear, and rugged hand-held portable photoionization detector, is equipped standard with a new high performance 10.6 eV lamp, and has an optional 11.7 eV lamp for ionizing chlorinated compounds. The UV lamp is easy to remove and has a new lamp condition assessment indicator for cleaning or replacement. |

Volatile Organic Compounds Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) vaporize at room temperature and pressure. They are found in many indoor sources, including many common household products and building materials. Building and Construction Materials – Outgassing Building materials can be a primary source of harmful gases and chemicals. In particular, formaldehyde, a preservative and adhesive ingredient, is a component of many building materials (e.g., particle board, sub-flooring, paneling, shelving, new carpet and padding and floor finishes cured with an acid-based process). These products can release formaldehyde from the moment of introduction and can continue to off-gas as they age and deteriorate over several years. Health and Safety Monitoring – Indoor Air Quality Cleaning products, paints and varnishes, hair spray, fragrances, permanent press clothing additives, and various office devices can emit VOCs that adversely affect health. Organohalogen compounds that are used as flame retardants in consumer products can also contribute to health problems. Industrial strength cleaning, degreasing, and disinfecting products can release harmful organic compounds when they are used or while in storage. A PID is the instrument of choice for personal safety monitoring because it responds best to the more toxic VOCs. The 2020ppbPRO is small and lightweight so the instrument can be placed in a belt holster for personal monitoring. The audible and visual alarms for STEL, TWA, and real-time Peak levels provide the health and safety professional with an excellent way to alert workers to a potential risk to their well-being. |
Pesticides Indoor pesticide use, effective on pests, can have negative effects on people. Pesticides that impact indoor air quality typically include insecticides, termiticides, rodenticides, fungicides and microbe disinfectants. Both the active and inert ingredients in the pesticides can be organic compounds; therefore they both could add to the levels of airborne organics affecting indoor air quality. The sensitivity and low detection level of the 2020ppbPRO are ideal for measuring such problems. Environmental Site Characterization The 2020ppbPRO is ideal for site screening to determine the extent of low level VOC contamination present by providing the concentration and helping trace the source of the contamination. The 2020ppbPRO can monitor a broad range of compounds to very low levels with the new high performance 10.6 eV lamp as well as the optional 11.7 eV lamp. In Interval Mode, the 2020ppbPRO automatically calculates and records PEAK, STEL, and TWA at a user selected interval. With datalogging capability supporting up to 200 hours of 1 minute sampling data, the 2020ppbPRO will handle short and long term monitoring requirements. Soil/Water Jar Headspace Screening The 2020ppbPRO can detect a wide range of VOCs from 10ppb to 40ppm. Given its low detection capability, the 2020ppbPRO is an ideal screening tool for VOCs in soil or water static headspace. |
