Air Monitoring – Goals of Current Systems
1. Basic Compliance
– Meet regulatory requirements
– Meet project requirements
2. Risk Management
– Provide “alarms” for exceedences
– Provide data to defend claims - exposure
3. Community Relations
– Provide visible sampling system
– Provide reports, public website
Minimalist Approach
6. 6
Environmental Monitoring: Data Needs Today
1. Beyond Compliance – Best Practices
2. Proven Risk Management – Formidable Defense
3. Sophisticated Community Relations – Visual and Friendly
4. Seamless Data Integration – ERP (IT) Compatibility
5. Focused Data Distribution – Multiple Information Portals
6. Data Quality and Reliability – Nothing Compromised
7. Excellent Cost Control & Cost Effectiveness – Less Labor
8. Provide Leadership – Promotes Sustainability Goals

Particle Size Differentiation
Latest instrument technology allows simultaneous, real-
time measurement of multiple particle sizes
Hardware: TSI model DRX
• Simultaneous PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10
• Fully integrated into the Greenlight System
Application: Identify substances of interest
• Distinguish constituents by size e.g., diesel exhaust /
construction dust
• Infer offsite emission sources
23. 23
FOCUS: Modular System Design
Detector selection for specific project needs
Scalable system for best site coverage
Choices for power and field enclosure:
• AC power, battery or solar
• Fiber case or metal box
• Fixed or portable stations
Antenna options for telemetry performance
