Hitting Close to Home: Using AROMA to Measure Emissions from Indoor Stoves
A senior scientist at PSE Healthy Energy, Eric Lebel has expanded his toolkit for such measurements over time, with AROMA-VOC now part of his arsenal. Recently published work with Yannai Kashtan of Stanford and others using AROMA has shown that natural gas and propane combustion from stoves inside people’s homes raises indoor levels of benzene, a known carcinogen, above well-established health benchmarks.
A Decade of Developing Sensors to Characterize Air Pollutants
Growing up on the southeastern coast of China, Da Pan did not see severe air pollution until he was an undergraduate student in Beijing at Peking University. At the time, the air quality in Beijing was poor and inspired Pan to pursue atmospheric science.
We spoke with Pan about his early work in mobile monitoring in China, his work with AROMA in Colorado now, and what he sees as the future of air quality sensors.
AROMA-TOX Filling Critical Air Quality Monitoring Needs in Maine, Colorado
AROMA instruments are shipping across the United States, filling critical air quality monitoring needs. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) are the latest state agencies to add AROMA-TOX to their arsenal.
Entanglement Technologies Expands into the Wastewater Monitoring and Process Control Markets
Entanglement Technologies, a global leader in ambient air monitoring technology to detect hazardous chemicals, is expanding their product offerings into the wastewater and process control industries. With support from industry partners, the AROMA technology platform is continuing to reshape the sensing market.
U.S. EPA Adds AROMA to Its Air Toxics Program
The U.S. EPA is using a state-of-the-art tool to detect levels of pollutants that may affect the health of residents in the United States: the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) Air Quality Assessment Division has acquired an AROMA instrument to monitor benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene(s) (BTEX), ethylene oxide (EtO), and other VOCs. This is the EPA’s third acquisition of an analyzer from Entanglement Technologies in the past two years.
AROMA to Support Newly Funded EPA Air Monitoring Projects
Our AROMA technology will be supporting several newly funded air monitoring projects, which are part of the largest investment in community air monitoring in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) history.
