POM Personal Ozone Monitor

2B Tech has taken the next step in miniaturization of UV-based ozone monitors by developing the Personal Ozone Monitor or "POM". The basic POM unit has dimensions of 4 x 3 x 1.5 inches and weighs only 0.8 lb / 1.0 lb without/with battery (360 g / 450 g ). It has a built in GPS so that ozone measurements may be logged continuously along with geographic location. By folding the optical path in the shape of a "U," it was possible to achieve the same path length in the POM as in the Models 202, 205, and 106-L and thus have similar precision and accuracy (~1.5 ppb). The POM has been designated by the US EPA as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for ozone: EQOA–0815–227. Applications Personal exposure monitoring for studies of health effects of air pollutants Health and safety monitoring at industrial sites using ozone Vertical profiling using balloons, kites, RPVs, and light aircraft where space and weight are highly limited Long-term monitoring at remote locations where power is highly limited Urban arrays of ground-based detectors
