Environmental Investigators Lonnie Gilley Robin Pugh

  Photo Ionization Detector (PID)  Readings in ppm  Can detect a wide variety of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs); however, it cannot detect all VOCs  Can be used to monitor atmosphere and screen soils for contamination from VOCs MiniRae 3000

  4 specific sensors monitor LEL, O2, CO, and H2S  Can be used to monitor normal atmosphere and subsurface utility manways to determine if they are impacted  Other sensor options capability QRae & QRae II

  Photo Ionization Detector (PID)  4 specific sensors monitor LEL, O2, CO, and H2S  Can log data  Can be used to monitor remotely  Multiple monitors from multiple agencies may be used together to create one set of monitoring data from multiple locations, as well as, plume modeling capability AreaRae

  Flame ionization device  Detects “total hydrocarbons”  Including methane and ethane Toxic Vapor Analyzer (TVA)

  “See” volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions  Can be used to locate source of an emission or plume  Cannot quantify or qualify  Steam dissipates, VOC’s linger Optical Gas Imaging Camera (OGIC)

  Can identify compounds  Compare to Air Monitoring Comparison Values (AMCV’s), but with limitations  “Snapshot in time” Summa Canister

  Monitors levels of particulate matter  PM 10  PM 2.5  Logs over time  Download to computer DataRAM

  Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) analyzer  Detects down to parts per billion Jerome

  Measures  Dissolved Oxygen  Conductivity  pH  Temperature Hydrolab

  Gieger Counter Radiological Survey Meter
