About GRIMM Aerosol Technik GmbH & Co. KG<\/span><\/h2>\n

GRIMM Aerosol Technik GmbH & Co. KG<\/a> is a global company in the field of environmental and <\/span><\/span>occupational safety monitoring<\/span>. Authorities, research and teaching facilities, safety engineers and accredited bodies use our measuring systems e.g. for air-condition monitoring for more than 30 years already. Moreover we also offer <\/span><\/span>systems for optical fine dust measurement, which bear the “Made in Europe” seal. <\/span>Since 1 October 2015 we are a member of the DURAG GROUP<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are the world’s only manufacturer offering weather-proof ultra-fine particles (UFP) measuring devices for long-term outdoor use, which deliver the aerosol distribution including all mass values \u200b\u200bin a range from 4 nm to 32 \u03bcm. <\/span>Our complete systems are available as both portable and stationary models. <\/span>One example is the EDM 164<\/a> Grimm Aerosol Meter – a compact and autonomous system that can be used anywhere in the field. <\/span>It is equipped with a Lufft All-in-One weather sensor<\/a>, in addition to an aerosol spectrometer, a data logger, a data transmission unit, a pump and a GPS device. <\/span>EDM164 simultaneously issues the particle distribution, the total counts as well as PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and TSP\u00a0in 31 channels.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To monitor weather data, a WS600<\/a> compact weather sensor from Lufft forms the top of the measuring unit. <\/span>Its data on wind speed, precipitation, relative humidity and temperature plays an important role in the observation as well as prediction of the particle distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Construction of <\/span>ICIMOD measuring network in Nepal
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

The EDM180<\/a> aerosol or air quality measuring system mounted in containers can be found e.g. in the Himalayas at altitudes of up to 5,000 meters. <\/span>There, it withstands snowstorms and extreme cold.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ICIMOD installed five monitoring systems in total. They consist of a WS600 all-in-one meteo sensor from Lufft, a fine dust particle monitor, a data logger and a temperature-humidity sensor. <\/span>The systems are used for real-time monitoring, identifying trends and preparing forecasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

More will follow, as t<\/span>he DOE (Department of Environment) plans to construct a nationwide dust measuring network. <\/span>Integrated into a networked data surface, the intelligent system detects an overshooting of set limits and alerts on high fine dust levels. <\/span>In such cases, there is a need to restrict activities where pollutants are emitted. <\/span>The limits are based on the guidelines of the World Health Organization<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
