Korea EPA Approves TEOM Monitor

In January 2002 the Korea Ministry of Environment granted regulatory recognition of Rupprecht & Patashnick's TEOM Series 1400a Ambient Particulate Monitor. The government approval permits the use of the continuous particulate matter monitor for compliance monitoring of ambient air. The criteria pollutant for particulate matter for which the instrument will be used in Korea is PM-10, defined as the mass concentration of particles smaller than 10 microns in diameter.

With this approval, Korea joins a number of organizations in the Pacific area that have recently extended recognition of the continuous TEOM mass monitoring method from R&P. These include the Taiwan EPA, Japan EPA and Standards Australia.
