DCHAS-L Discussion List Archive

On page 4 of the report listed below, the MN Dept. of Health has a table
listing four different meters and their features:
www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/hazardous/sites/ramsey/stpaulhg0901.pdf
The report is actually on a house contaminated with mercury, but
further in the report there is some discussion on comparing results by
two of the different meters.
 
See www.pca.state.mn.us/publications/p-p2s4-02.pdf for information on
the MN Pollution Control Agency's newest "meter". (They have also used
Lumex and Tekran meters).
 
As for us, we had a Jerome meter that is now obsolete and no longer
used. We do personal air sampling for those few cases when mercury is an
issue.

Dear DivCHAS Members,


Other than the Jerome 431X and the Reliable Instruments MVA-1 what, if
any portable mercury vapor analyzers might you be able to recommend?


Thanks,

-Russ
