• Augmenting Air Quality Monitoring Networks

Met One Instruments’ Model BAM 1020 was the first instrument to obtain U.S. EPA Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) designation for continuous PM2.5 monitoring, in addition to its longstanding EPA designation for PM10 monitoring. The BAM 1020 has also obtained the corresponding PM2.5 and PM10 certifications in the European Union. Two BAM 1020 units can also be operated together as an EPA-designated PM10–2.5 coarse method. Met One Instruments supplies complete sampling accessory kits for compliance with each designation

Met One’s BAM has since become an EPA standard for air quality monitoring. Having acquired EPA approval and Federal Designation of selected Met One products, the global community began sourcing Met One BAM for regulatory compliance and air quality monitoring.
