DCHAS-L Discussion List Archive

See: http://www.lumexint.com/product/ra915.shtml for the Lumex 
instrument and  http://www.hg-nic.com/english/emp-1a.html for the 
Nippon Instruments unit (that looks like a uv spectrophotometer type) 
and http://www.tekran.com/products/ambient/2537.aspx for Tekran. Most 
of us know AZI/Jerome.

Does anybody have or know of someone with experience using the Lumex 
or Nippon Instruments units?



>On page 4 of the report listed below, the MN Dept. of Health has a table
>listing four different meters and their features:

>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.
