Abstract
Air quality monitoring involves a series of quantitative and qualitative observation and measurement of several air condition indicators, such as concentrations of air components. For this purpose, it is necessary to take several samples of air (gases, dusts, VOCs, physicochemical agents) with specialized equipment having the lowest measuring ranges, sometimes going up to ppt concentrations. At present, most environmental laboratories use individual equipment / analysers for each analysed environmental parameter or carry out sampling in an absorbent / adsorbent environment, and then analyse compounds in laboratories. The current paper presents the advantages of sampling / analysis of environmental compounds with the help of mobile environmental laboratories which allow in situ sampling and analysis of several air quality indicators and fast identification of polluted areas by simultaneous measurements of several samples and strategic and tactical decision making to confute pollution and prevent it. Having a mobile environmental laboratory is equivalent to using the latest concepts and methods of in-situ environmental parameter analysis technology to monitor environmental quality, securing the acquisition and processing of data but requiring specific knowledge in the field to transmit information as accurate and rapid as possible to the beneficiary or environmental authority.
Highlights
Research and services carried out by the Laboratory for Environmental Protection within NIRD INSEMEX Petroşani is dedicated mainly to the control of air pollution
There are many situations [1,2] where certain analyses can only be performed by certain equipment for accuracy and with high certainty, but if we are talking about the most frequent parameters for air quality, most can be measured by using analysers fitted on a mobile laboratory
Aligned to the most modern and new techniques in the field, the equipment endowing the auto-laboratory provides the facilities for fast measurement / monitoring of the physicalchemical indicators and for fast forecasting of accidental pollution situations
Summary
Research and services carried out by the Laboratory for Environmental Protection within NIRD INSEMEX Petroşani is dedicated mainly to the control of air pollution. Development and validation of new methods for measuring pollutants present in ambient air, and in air inside buildings / workplaces is one of our major concerns. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the usefulness / advantages of owning a mobile laboratory compared to field sampling followed by laboratory analysis. An environmental analysis considers the following objectives [2,3,4]:
