Aeroqual AQS 1 Smog Monitor
The AQS 1 is a compact ‘smog monitor’ designed to measure the key ingredients of photochemical smog – PM2.5 and ozone (O3). Using Aeroqual’s patented sensor technology the AQS 1 delivers very accurate measurements at a price that is well below traditional ambient air monitoring equipment.Air quality professionals and researchers use the AQS 1 smog monitor to better understand the spatial and temporal distribution of ozone and PM2.5 which are two of the most important pollutants. PM2.5 is often the most damaging pollutant during winter; ozone is often the most harmful during summer. They are also key contributors to photochemical smog. The AQS 1 combines a robust nephelometer, PM2.5 sharp cut cyclone, and Aeroqual’s industry-leading GSS ozone sensor technology. The monitor performs to Near Reference levels yet costs much less than comparable analyzers; it is also lightweight and can be installed and moved with ease.The AQS 1 is a fully integrated monitor.
