TEOM Monitor Approved in Taiwan

In late 2000, R&P's TEOM Series 1400a Ambient Particulate Monitor received the Taiwan EPA designation as an "NIEA Standard Method" (NIEA A207.10C).

This official governmental designation means that R&P's continuous monitor can be operated for compliance monitoring of suspended particulate matter, such as particles smaller than 10 microns in diameter (PM-10).

With this new approval, Taiwan joins the US, Russia and Germany as countries that have officially designated the TEOM Ambient Particulate Monitor. In many other countries, the unit is either an informal standard or the de facto standard for determining mass concentration of particulate matter in ambient air.
