1 SPOTLIGHT ON THE LELAND LEGACY® PUMP FROM

2 THE LELAND LEGACY PUMP Provides answers to particulate
sampling problems High flow rates 24+ hour run times More contaminant mass Increased sensitivity Meaningful data

3 U.S. EPA REGULATIONS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER
Regulations for total suspended particulate (TSP) have been replaced with standards for PM10 and PM2.5. PM10 - referred to as coarse particulate matter PM2.5 - referred to as fine particulate matter

4 PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS FROM FINE PM
Increase in respiratory symptoms and related hospital visits for illnesses Asthma and chronic bronchitis Premature death

5 THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
Issued a mandate to the EPA to begin monitoring microenvironments (personal exposures) of PM to obtain better epidemiological data of the actual health effects

6 WHY SAMPLE MICROENVIRONMENTS?
Traditional stationary ambient PM monitors are poor estimators of the actual exposures to susceptible subpopulations. Traditional stationary ambient PM monitors do not permit researchers to assess the health effects of PM on vulnerable individuals.

7 UNIQUE CHALLENGES SAMPLING PM INDOORS
Enhanced sensitivity is required since mass concentrations are low. Small, quiet samplers are required for sampling individuals in microenvironments.

8 THE MICKEY LELAND NATIONAL URBAN AIR TOXICS RESEARCH CENTER
Funded the development of a sample pump and a personal impactor Recognized the need for technology to address PM concerns indoors SKC received the grant for the sample pump!

9 LELAND LEGACY SAMPLE PUMP
HIGH FLOWS Up to 15 L/min LONG RUNS Up to 24+ hours FOR LOW LEVELS In indoor or ambient air SKC Cat. No

14 LELAND LEGACY PUMP FEATURES
Rubber “boot” molded onto the case for impact resistance Keyboard and LCD window are water resistant. Optional pump pouch with sound-reducing material reduces sound to 55 dB at 10 L/min.

15 APPLICATIONS FOR EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS
USING THE LELAND LEGACY SAMPLE PUMP

16 PM IN INDOOR AIR USING THE SIOUTAS IMPACTOR
Developed by researchers at the University of S. California to collect data on the relationship between outdoor and indoor PM levels and to assess personal exposures. Allows for measurement of mass, particle size, and chemical composition.

17 SIOUTAS PERSONAL CASCADE IMPACTOR
Four impaction stages and after-filter: 2.5 to 10 µm 1.0 to 2.5 µm 0.5 to 1.0 µm 0.25 to 0.5 µm < 0.25 µm SKC Cat. No

18 ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY VERIFICATION
U.S. EPA Environmental Technology Verification (EPA-ETV) is a program designed to accelerate acceptance of new, improved technologies through performance verification. The SKC Leland Legacy Pump with the Sioutas Impactor received EPA-ETV verification.

19 SAMPLE ANALYSIS SIOUTAS IMPACTOR
TOTAL MASS Gravimetric analysis CHEMICAL SPECIES See EPA IO-3 for a variety of methods including AA, XRF, ICP, proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy, and neutron activation.

20 PM IN INDOOR AIR SINGLE-STAGE IMPACTORS
Method IP-10A in the U.S. EPA Compendium of Methods for Indoor Air specifies the use of a personal single stage impactor for particulates. The method describes the Personal Environmental Monitor (PEM) available from SKC. The PEM has various models for collection of PM10 or PM2.5 at 2, 4, or 10 L/min. SKC 761-SERIES

21 LELAND LEGACY PUMP WITH THE PEM
The PEM designed for PM10 or PM2.5 at 10 L/min can be partnered with the Leland Legacy pump to enhance the amount of contaminant mass collected.

22 PM MEASUREMENTS USING THE IMPACT SAMPLER
The Leland Legacy pump can be also be partnered with the SKC IMPACT single-stage inertial impactor for collection of PM10 or PM2.5 at 10 L/min. The IMPACT Sampler offers the advantage of pre-oiled impaction substrates. SKC Cat. Nos. and

23 DPS SYSTEM WITH THE LELAND LEGACY PUMP
pump and the IMPACT Sampler have been incorporated into the Deployable Particulate Sampler System for PM10 or PM2.5. SKC Cat. No /2

24 DPS SYSTEM WITH THE LELAND LEGACY PUMP
The DPS System has been widely used by the U.S. Dept of Defense for measuring PM exposures of deployed soldiers from sand storms but also has an application for indoor air.

25 PESTICIDES AND PCBs IN INDOOR AIR
USING SORBENT CARTRIDGES WITH PUF ASTM D a specifies a flow rate from 1 to 5 L/min from 4 to 24 hours Partnering PUF sorbent cartridges with the Leland Legacy pump at 5 L/min for 24 hours can greatly improve sensitivity. SKC Cat. No
