Air Analysis – Multimedia

Next-generation natural refrigerant cooling system for centrifuges offers a lower Global Warming Potential and reduced energy consumption.

In this infographic, we explore different types of air pollutants, sources of air pollution and key techniques used to monitor these compounds.

The EU GMP Annex 1 provides specific guidance on the manufacture of sterile medicinal products. Though it is a European guide for manufacturing, EU GMP Annex 1’s impact is global. So how does the latest revision affect you?

Scientists report preliminary work calculating how inequities in air pollution exposure fluctuate from day to day across 11 major U.S. cities, which may be exacerbated by climate change in some places.

In this episode, Lucy Lawrence interviews Pascal Lemberge an applications specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The quality of indoor air dramatically affects the health of animals and humans during livestock production. Airborne transmission has been suspected of being responsible for epidemics of highly infectious diseases in livestock production, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been increasing concern about the role of wild animals in the epidemiology of most zoonoses.

Researchers have developed a new personal air-sampling system that can detect more than 100 different compounds in one device.

Air pollution monitoring is a very important topic to protect human health. Many standards regulate the emission of fuel powered vehicles like automotives (cars, trucks, motorcycles), boats, etc. or industrial sources of air pollution. In particular, ultra-fine particles such as soot particles can accumulate in the lung are classified as carcinogenic, but also asthma, allergies, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are caused by fine dust. Filter weighing is a back-weighing method to determine the level of air pollution.

Water quality testing is important to address environmental and health concerns. A critical component being analyzed is hydrocarbons, resulting from oil and grease contamination.

The compound ozone, a known respiratory irritant, exists in high concentrations at flight altitudes, making the “fresh air” sucked in by air conditioners at those heights, well, not so fresh. In fact ozone exposure may be responsible for many of the short-term discomforts we associate with air travel.
