EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE<br />
SINCE 1981
The Future of Dust and<br />
Particle Monitoring<br />
Dear readers,<br />
I am delighted to find you interested in our Enviro Product Line.<br />
Measuring and assessing particulate matter within the<br />
ambient air is of prime importance: Limit values set by the<br />
World Health Organization (WHO) for human health<br />
protection are exceeded worldwide every single day.<br />
In highly congested urban areas in particular, the degree of<br />
contamination is clearly above those limit values with a serious<br />
impact on all those many people subjected to it. In contrast to<br />
gaseous airborne pollutants, no minimum threshold can be<br />
scientifically defined for fine dust beneath the size of which<br />
such dust does not have any further relevance to health. As a<br />
consequence, it is our duty and responsibility to reduce<br />
particulate matter contamination within the ambient air to a<br />
level that is both technically feasible and cost-efficient at the<br />
same time.<br />
For more than 20 years my work at the Institute for<br />
Environmental Protection of the Berlin Technical University<br />
focused on measuring and assessing airborne pollutants.<br />
Today, different measuring principles and techniques for the<br />
determination of atmospheric dust are used in research and in<br />
applications: gravimetric sampling (high-volume and lowvolume<br />
sampling), beta dust monitors, nephelometers,<br />
thermographic, electrostatic and optical methods. Each of<br />
these technologies has its advantages and disadvantages, as<br />
well as its specific range of applications.<br />
Over time, however, a lot has changed: The measuring tasks<br />
have become more demanding and consequently the<br />
requirements on the necessary measuring technology as well.<br />
If in the past monitoring was mainly about staying within dustrelated<br />
limit values; today, root cause analyses and finding the<br />
sources of fine dust contamination have become the primary<br />
targets. Only by being able to properly identify the source of a<br />
specific particulate matter contamination, appropriate, costefficient,<br />
and long-lasting, effective initiatives can be started in<br />
politics.<br />
It is not sufficient to learn tomorrow about today´s fine dust<br />
contamination values; people are entitled to get real-time<br />
information about the current fine dust contamination. In<br />
addition, mean values on a 24-hour basis do not offer enough<br />
information for a precise identification of the contamination<br />
sources.<br />
Atmospheric processes, such as vertical and horizontal<br />
transport and compound processes that have a fundamental<br />
influence on the fine dust contamination within the ambient<br />
air, obviously show lower time scales (minutes to seconds). As a<br />
consequence, measuring technologies with the following<br />
characteristics have become indispensible for today's<br />
measuring tasks:<br />
Dr. Markus Pesch<br />
Technical Director<br />
GRIMM Aerosol Technik GmbH<br />
Continuous measurements with a high temporal<br />
resolution (a few seconds up to 30 minutes)<br />
Information on the particle mass fractions PM10, PM2.5<br />
and PM1 (to monitor the current and future limit values).<br />
Determination of the particle size distribution (to judge its<br />
relevance to health and precisely identify the source).<br />
Maintenance-free, reliable measuring technologies<br />
involving little labor (cost-efficiency).<br />
High sensitivity and low levels of detection (reliable<br />
determination even at low dust contamination of but a few<br />
µg/m³).<br />
Our GRIMM optical fine dust measuring equipment was<br />
designed to meet all the above mentioned requirements.<br />
All our Enviro systems are equipped with the same optical<br />
chamber permitting a precise and reliable single particle<br />
determination. This optical chamber is currently operating in<br />
more than 3,000 devices worldwide and has proven its<br />
quality and superiority by successfully passing the European<br />
directives for PM10 and PM2.5. With the ability to<br />
simultaneously measure dust mass fractions PM10, PM2.5<br />
and PM1 as well as the particle size distribution in up to 31<br />
size channels (simply by switching measuring modes), the<br />
operator is well-prepared for all present and future dust<br />
measurement tasks and specific root cause analyses.<br />
In my capacity as Technical Director of the GRIMM company, I<br />
will strive for a continuous development of measurement<br />
technologies meeting the highest technical standards and<br />
setting the benchmark for what is possible today. Rest<br />
assured that through the combined know-how of our<br />
engineers and scientists - from the service department to the<br />
product development department to R&D - we will provide<br />
top quality in all aspects of our product range and services.<br />
Our line of Enviro products is currently employed in various<br />
fields of application worldwide. I look forward to welcoming<br />
you as a new future GRIMM customer.<br />
Yours truly,

maintenance.<br />
Mobile Professional Enviro Check<br />
GRIMM EDM 365<br />
(pages 12-13)<br />
With our EDM 365 we set new standards in environmental monitoring! Compared<br />
to the portable EDM 107 this stand-alone mini shelter can operate on a continuous<br />
basis providing the PM-values of all dust fractions - including semi-volatile<br />
compounds -, the GPS position, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation,<br />
temperature, and humidity. Even data on nano particles down to 25 nm (mean<br />
diameter and total counts) are available and indicative gas sensors can be added as<br />
well. All values are automatically transmitted to the data logger or to the www.<br />
Stationary Dust Monitor<br />
GRIMM EDM 180<br />
(pages 8-11)<br />
The EDM 180 Environmental Dust Monitor is a 19" rack-mounted instrument<br />
specifically designed for use inside protective housings in conformity with the<br />
existing EPA regulations for dust monitoring. As an option, this system can deliver<br />
up to 31 particle size channels within a time resolution of 6 seconds. No semivolatile<br />
compounds are lost in the process. Approved and officially certified it is the<br />
ideal solution for government use in PM monitoring.<br />
Wide Range System<br />
GRIMM EDM 665<br />
(pages 14-15)<br />
Flagship of our Enviro line is the Wide Range Aerosol System EDM 665, the ideal<br />
combination of optical and electrical mobility particle sizing. It has been designed for<br />
environmental research with a perfect overlap of both technologies in the measuring<br />
results. This system automatically determines the size distribution of all aerosols<br />
ranging from 5 nm to 30,000 nm in more than 70 different size channels. In addition,<br />
it is a stand-alone system with an automatic sample air dehumidification and<br />
moisture extraction system incorporated. Thanks to the integrated air conditioning<br />
providing uniform operating conditions, the system can be run unsupervised for<br />
extended time periods necessitating but one single minor intervention a month.<br />
Meteorological sensors as well as GPS and wireless transfer are optionally available.
Measuring Principle<br />
TSP<br />
PM 10<br />
AIR FLOW:<br />
This inlet was designed to meet the requirements defined<br />
at the Johannesburg convention. Sample air at a volume<br />
flow of 1.2 liter/minute is directly fed into the measuring<br />
cell by passing through a TSP (total suspended particles)<br />
head and the probe inlet.<br />
Thanks to this unique principle none of the GRIMM<br />
instruments need any size-selective sample inlets as do all<br />
other dust monitors on the market.<br />
OPTICAL SYSTEM:<br />
The sample air is then passing through the heart of the patented GRIMM spectrometer cell that has<br />
been designed as a single particle detection and counting system. As a consequence, we can<br />
guarantee that every single particle is measured by the instrument.<br />

The optical system was optimized in such a way<br />
as to ensure that the refractive change (color) is<br />
negligible. Even in the nano size range the<br />
sensitivity across the size channels an excellent<br />
sensitivity is ensured.<br />
All particles (aerosol) passing through the measurement cell are classified by size distribution into 31<br />
channels. Based on this size distribution principle, we obtained the European Equivalence Approval<br />
for PM10 and PM2.5 as well as the US-EPA Approval for PM2.5.<br />
The required figures for PM 10, PM 2.5, as well as for the suggested PM1<br />
are arrived at by multiplying the<br />
obtained count concentrations with the corresponding specific density factors then to be added to the<br />
total masses of each PM channel. This is all done automatically by the instrument.<br />
One of the main problems in measuring ambient air is high humidity. To prevent moisture or small<br />
water droplets from being measured the probe is usually heated to minimize this effect. As an<br />
unwanted side effect, semi-volatile compounds such as nitrates, sulfates, etc. are vaporized before<br />
they can be measured.<br />
Instead of heating the probe, the GRIMM EDM isothermically extracts the humidity by dry air or Nafion<br />
tubes, a process patented by GRIMM. Scientists all over the world agree that the semi volatile<br />
compound (SVC) fraction normally produced by manmade processes (industrial areas, automotive,<br />
combustion, etc.), can amount to 20-50% of the total dust. In addition to the PM + PM + PM<br />
values, this contribution can be determined as an SVC fraction by a GRIMM EDM 365.<br />

Benefits of GRIMM EDM Monitors<br />
FOUR VALUES SIMULTANEOUSLY<br />
The GRIMM EDM 180 is the only commercially available fine dust monitoring unit in the world,<br />
approved for PM 10 & PM 2.5, capable of measuring PM 10, PM2.5 and PM1<br />
in µg/m³, as well as TC (total<br />
particles) in p/l at the same time. Measurement updates of all these values are provided in 60-<br />
second intervals and in combination with optionally available meterological sensors identifying the<br />
origin is facilitated, thus permitting a better risk assessment.<br />
LITTLE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED<br />
All GRIMM Environmental Dust Monitors are designed in such a way as to require as little<br />
maintenance as possible; a field system check with a foolproof test kit should be largely sufficient.<br />
ISO 9001 stipulates that calibration of the spectrometer of that system is calibrated once every 12 to<br />
18 months. Instead of calibrating several instruments - one for each PM value - there is but one<br />
GRIMM instrument needing calibration.<br />
REMOTE SERVICE, CONTROL & DATA ACCESS<br />
Output data from the instrument can be directly transmitted to your environmental network, your<br />
Intranet or the world wide web by using our Data Logger 1142.M5 (or the integrated German<br />
GESYTEC protocol).<br />
Scientists or environmental engineers thus gain access to the data from anywhere in the world via the<br />
WWW, by SMS or other data transfer system. Worldwide access to the service interface of our<br />
instrument for the purpose of preventive maintenance is possible as well. A fully automatic self-test<br />
and control system monitors the performance of the instrument and reports possible errors. All this<br />
results in a considerable reduction of the total cost of ownership!<br />
The GRIMM data web page (see page 15) gives every customer the chance to look into his<br />
measurement results in real time from anywhere.<br />
COMPACT SOLUTION<br />
Apart from the fact that our instruments needed to be designed to include all necessary accessories<br />
one of the major objectives was the minimization their dimensions.<br />
Focusing on arriving at the smallest possible instrument size while not compromising reliable<br />
measurements the instruments we can offer compact and handy solutions for your everyday work.<br />

NANO<br />
Model 1.320 NanoCheck Particle Sensor:<br />
With optically measuring technologies reaching their limit<br />
at some 150 nm, we developed the NanoCheck 1.320 to<br />
be used in combination with our EDM 180. This unit closes<br />
the gap down to 25 nm and provides information about<br />
the number and mean size of nano particles below the<br />
optical detection limit. It comes in a rack mounted version<br />
as depicted on the right.<br />
The upcoming 1. 321 NanoCheck<br />
Sensor will be able to<br />
monitor these nano particles in size ranges of 4 different<br />
classes.<br />
System 1.320/1.321 is a great add-on to the EDM 180 with an integrated 1142.M5 Data Logger and a<br />
touch panel. Get the benefit of being able to see ultrafine particle values in real-time on the display.<br />
Meteorology<br />
Sampling<br />
NEW Meteorological Sensors:<br />
Our new meteorological digital sensor program has now become available for<br />
the EDM 180/ 365/ 665 instruments as an option. It replaces the existing<br />
analogous sensors and upgrades the EDM 180 to benefit from this new digital<br />
technology<br />
Three versions are available:<br />
Model 157L for temperature, relative humidity and ambient pressure.<br />
Model<br />
158L adding wind speed and wind direction to the features of model 157L<br />
Model<br />
159L topping model 158L with an additional ultrasonic sensor for<br />
precipitation (rain and snow).<br />
Please note that apart from the 184L, sensors 158L and 159L require the 1142.M5 Data Logger as<br />
well. When upgrading from the standard analogous sensors, the 184L sensor connection kit is always<br />
required.<br />
Automated Filter Sampling:<br />
To obtain specific samples for laboratory testing (to determine the<br />
chemical composition for instance) of dust exceeding a certain value, we<br />
also supply intelligent filter sampling systems. Sampling time and<br />
sampling intervals are computer-controlled and can be set / modifed by<br />
the end user, which is true for the filter change of the 14 or more filters<br />
(25 to 47 mm).<br />
Another useful feature of the GRIMM instruments.<br />
NEW Outdoor Housings:<br />
To guarantee an accurate data acquisition in conformity with worldwide<br />
governmental regulations, we supply environmental 19" protective housings for our<br />
systems featuring integrated data acquisition systems and A/C. For detailed<br />
information ask for our GAS catalogue.
Calibration & Quality<br />
How are <strong>Grimm</strong> Aerosol instruments<br />
calibrated<br />
Each manufacturer calibrates his systems differently.<br />
Since no worldwide standard for the calibration of<br />
aerosol spectrometers exists, GRIMM developed their<br />
own in-house calibration process. This process has<br />
been validated by Government Departments and is<br />
based on a real-time comparison and adjustment<br />
between a “reference unit” and the unit to be<br />
Quality End Control<br />
<strong>Grimm</strong> Calibration Process<br />
Calibration between the candidate and the reference unit<br />
makes use of a "<strong>Grimm</strong> Calibration Tower" (shown on the<br />
left): The computer-controlled process itself is completely<br />
automated. Dolomite dust is used for our calibration aerosol.<br />
Dolomite dust is anoxic, not hygroscopic, polydisperse and<br />
very stable during storage. In addition, Dolomite dust covers<br />
the entire sizing range for all <strong>Grimm</strong> spectrometer from<br />
approx. 0.2 μm to >30μm. Due to the fact that both the<br />
reference unit and the candidate were manufactured<br />
identically, the Dolomite dust has to produce identical results<br />
in both spectrometers. The dust is injected at the top of the<br />
cylindrical calibration tower by particle-free compressed air<br />
and homogeneously dispersed within the entire tower. Up to<br />
three calibration candidates and one reference unit are<br />
attached to the bottom of the tower via identical aerosol<br />
inlets. A reverse flow of particle-free compressed air from the<br />
bottom to the top of the cylindrical tower guarantees a welldefined<br />
and reproducible aerosol particle distribution during<br />
the whole calibration process.<br />
All Enviro Systems are subjected to a long-term test by operating them complete with sampling pipe<br />
and weather housing (or outdoor rack) for a week in an outdoor reference system. During this time<br />

GRIMM sets a new trend: instead of big<br />
measurement containers with cost-intensive<br />
maintenance requirements, our units are small<br />
and compact while making no compromises<br />
regarding dust and meterological demands.<br />
Our EDM 365 meets all demands and today,<br />
many of these stations are successfully operating<br />
in places all over the world and under the most<br />
adverse atmospheric conditions.<br />
Starting in 2011 we will offer devices of the next<br />
generation with additional gas sensors to<br />
permit the measurements of airborne gaseous<br />
pollutants (such as VOC, NOx, ozone, and CO),<br />
for better chemical differentiation.<br />

EDM 365 Features and Options<br />

1142.M5 Data Logger System<br />
The EDM 365 series comes with an integrated data<br />
logger system. This logger combines the information<br />
from the GRIMM dust monitor with other integrated<br />
sensors.<br />
This all-in-one microcomputer interface features an<br />
integrated web server, facilitating customer interaction<br />
with the instrument on the basis of TCP/IP protocols.<br />

Digital Meteorological Sensors<br />
Our new digital meteorological sensor program is now available for all GRIMM<br />
EDM systems and has already become a standard in the EDM 365 product<br />
range. This 158L model delivers information on temperature, relative humidity,<br />
pressure, wind speed and wind direction.<br />
The optional model #159L combines the features of the #158L with a ultra sonic<br />
sensor for rain and snow information.<br />
1.320 NanoCheck Sensor<br />
Since optical measuring technologies reach their limit<br />
with particle diameters of less than 150 nm, we<br />
developed our NanoCheck 1.320: A device closing<br />
this gap down to 25 nm and providing information on<br />
the number and mean size of these nano particles.<br />
The combination of our optical spectrometer with the<br />
NanoCheck delivers additional information on<br />
ultrafine aerosols (soot particles from vehicle<br />
emissions, for instance) and mechanically created<br />
aerosols (such as tire and brake abrasion). AS a<br />
consequence, the NanoCheck add-on in<br />
combination with the EDM 365 represents the perfect<br />
tool for assessing air quality at road sites. Just think of<br />
the “Green Zones” currently set up all over the world,<br />
which can now be properly evaluated by such an<br />
instrument combination.<br />
365 Gas Sensors<br />
This indicative sensor was recently added to the GRIMM<br />
product portfolio to give customers the opportunity of<br />
acquiring an even more extensive environmental monitoring<br />
system.<br />
The gas system can be equipped with 2 different toxic gas<br />
detectors (CO, H2S, So2, NoX or Nh2) as well as a PID<br />
sensor. This sensor can be linked with the above data logger<br />
system to the EDM365.<br />
