To measure air quality in the ambient air is a challenge. The monitoring site needs to be representative and not dependant on changes in local traffic. A large number of gaseous components need to be measured with high accuracy and high availability.
The OPSIS DOAS system is different and provides a fast monitoring system that gives high data availability at low cost.
The OPSIS system is based on a non-contact DOAS method, using an optical path. The optical light is transferred in an optical fibre to the analyser and one analyser can operate several paths.
A single OPSIS system will measure all relevant gaseous components, such as NO, NO2, SO2, O3, BTX, HNO2, NO3, formaldehyde, and NH3.
