Miniature POM : Ozone Controller | 2.B Tech

Lightweight and easy to carry in one hand, the POM Ozone Controller is equipped with a built-in GPS for continuous recording of ozone measurements and geographical location. Just as accurate and powerful as the 202, 205 and 106-L models (~1.5 ppb).

Features :

• Small (palm-sized)
• Lightweight (~1 lb)
• Same measurement principle (UV absorbance) and similar precision (~1.5 ppb) as much larger instruments
• Approved as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) (EQOA-0815-227)
• Measure ozone up to 10,000 ppb (10 ppm)
• Belt clip and compact lithium-ion battery pack in side bracket for extreme portability
• Adapters enable AC or 12V battery operation
• Low power requirement: 3 watt
• Internal data logger
• Built-in GPS logs location along with ozone measurements
• Fast 2-s or 10-s measurements
• User-selected averaging times of 1 min, 5 min, or 1 hr
• Serial or USB connections for data downloading

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

Application note :

This application note describes a study in which the POM was flown on a drone over the Chesapeake Bay, to study the chemistry inside the plume of a large cargo ship at sea.  The versatility of the POM was highlighted in this work, which also called on another POM to carry out complementary measurements at a nearby ground station.
