Serinus Gas Analyzers
The Serinus series ambient gas analyzer derives its name from the genus (group) of the canary, which was the first effective ‘method’ used to detect harmful gases in coalmines. Just as the humble canary helped protect the health of early coal miners, so too will the new gas analyzers play their part in helping deliver a cleaner, safer, healthier global environment.
The Serinus gas analyzers are built upon the proven and reliable measurement technology of the EC9800 gas analyzers, but combine that with modern engineering and electronic systems. The basis of measurement for all analyzers are either U.S. EPA Equivalent or Reference Method and European MCERTS testing scheme.
Ecotech, is pleased to announce EN approval for its Serinus gas analyser range. The approvals are a vital step in Ecotech’s expansion within Europe and provide the European community with a greater choice of ambient gas analysers. We are confident that the Serinus will give our European customers the performance they need, with Ecotech’s proven reliability, along with enhanced data transfer and communication

Ozone (O3)
Ozone is a highly poisonous, corrosive substance and a common pollutant. Ozone is formed in the atmosphere by reaction of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and sunlight. Some kinds of electrical equipment, e.g. television sets, photocopiers and electric motors (which use brushes), generate such an amount of ozone that a person can easily smell.

Nitric Oxides (NOx)
The nitric oxide (NO) molecule is very reactive and unstable. In air, it reacts with oxygen to form the poisonous nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Human activity has drastically increased the production of nitric oxide in combustion chambers, e. g. car engines and power plants.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) are not a specific pollutant but a class of chemical compounds which are present almost everywhere (e.g. acetone, benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, n-hexane, formaldehyde, styrene, chlorinated solvents, and several other organic solvents). Some of them are non-toxic and many are noxious. You can observe high pollution levels especially near (petro)chemical industry and whenever fuel is not completely burned. Almost all VOC can be detected by a PID sensor. In ambient air, the reading of a PID is not to be understood as current concentration since its response is specific to each VOC compound. Nevertheless, the reading gives a good idea of the VOC pollution run. The VOC module is ideally suited for the detection of fugitive emissions and fenceline monitoring and suited even for the relatively low concentrations in ambient air.
Health and Environmental Effects
The ability of organic chemicals to cause health effects varies greatly from those that are highly toxic to those without known health effects. As with other pollutants, the extent and nature of the health effect will depend on many factors including level of exposure and length of time exposed. Eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, impaired vision, and memory impairment are among the immediate symptoms that some people have experienced soon after exposure to some organics.
Measuring VOC's
When measuring VOC's several techniques can be used. If you are measuring a specific VOC and no others are likely to interfere then a PID or FID detector can be used. If you wish to identify a specific VOC in a mixture then Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectroscopy or a combination of both may be required.
The AMA GC System is a fully automated network ready GC system capbale of seperating specific VOC's such as Benzene, Toluene, Xylenes etc in abient air to sub ppb levels.
DUVAS (Differential Ultra Violet Absorption Spectrometer) uses a well accepted optical technique which has been used for many years in a larger format to measure many of the gases which are controlled by legislation such as NO2, O3, SO2 etc. The system has been developed at Imperial College London and by Duvas Technologies and will be brought to the market by Air Monitors. Extensive laboratory and field trials have been carried out and are continuing currently as we bring the product into full production. The system can be carried by hand or mounted on a vehicle providing data on the move. Utilising GPS technology concentration data and position can be streamed back to base allowing real time visualisation on a mapping system.
