Overview:Air Pollution Sampling Pump and Detection OutfitChemical Analysis for Nitrogen Dioxide, Chlorine, Total Oxidants, Ammonia, Lead, and Sulfur Dioxide in Air The Air Pollution Sampling Pump and Detection Outfit together are a kit, which quantify six different pollutants in the air. The sampling pump is a vacuum that draws air from outside the collection bottle and pulls it through an absorbing solution that is chemically sensitive for a particular gas. The vacuum pump has an adjustable flow meter that can sample between 0.1 to 2.0 liters of air per minute. The Dectection Outfit is comprised of six individual test kits, including the solutions, reagents, and special equipment necessary to test for nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, total oxidants, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and lead air pollution.Each test kit contains an absorbing solution, which is poured into a glass bottle called the impinger. Two narrower tubes are held inside the impinger by a rubber stopper - one is long and one is short. The longer tube should be immersed in the absorbing solution when air is being collected. Air is pulled out of the impinger by the vacuum pump through the short tube, which draws air into the impinger from the outside air via the long tube. Because the end of the long tube is submerged into the absorbing solution, the air must be pulled throu the absorbing solution before it is pumped out of the impinger. Requirements: The kit is completely portable and can be used outside or inside the classroom. The sampling pump can run off batteries or electric power.
