Mobile Air Quality Research Laboratory
The University of Pittsburgh Mobile Air Quality Research Laboratory is a 7’ x 12’, temperature controlled, portable laboratory housed in a 2010 UXT United Cargo Trailer. Power circulates through a line conditioner and is supplied either through an electrical hook-up or via a low emission Honda generator. Shockproof rackmounts and shelving house existing instrumentation. Instrumentation in the Mobile Lab is capable of continuous measurement of gaseous reactive nitrogen concentrations (NO-NO2-NH3), active sampling of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and active sampling of reactive nitrogen gases for isotopic analysis.
Instrumentation
- Thermo Scientific Ammonia Analyzer, Model 17i, Chemiluminescent gas analyzer
- Thermo Multi-gas Calibrator, 146i
- Zero air supply and required reference gases
- Met One Super SASS, 8 channel, multiple-event active sampling system for particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10))
