The
Jordan Valley Legacy of Innovation Continues
There
are numerous regulations in place that limit the amount
of toxic compounds and metals that can be released into the atmosphere.
EDXRF lends itself to many important analytical applications
in support of these regulations.
Air
Filter Analysis
Internationally there are many air monitoring programs that look for respirable
particulates in the air. They analyze for every conceivable element with close
attention being paid to toxic metals. High-resolution EDXRF instruments with
large quantity sample changers are made for this application.
On-site
and Stack Air Monitoring
Workers are often exposed to toxic particulates in the air like lead or uranium.
A portable air sampler can take field samples that can be analyzed by a portable
or laboratory XRF instrument. Similar samples air taken at stacks to monitor
industrial emissions. The sampling system can be integrated to make this an on-line
application as well. Some elements such as sulfur can be measured directly in
the vapor phase.
