Airborne particle monitoring

Description

The EPA invites tenders for the Supply & Installation of Continuous Certified Inorganic Gas Analysers across 48 stations/locations in the Republic of Ireland. It is estimated that 18 Inorganic Gas Analysers will require installation in year one of the contracting arrangement. In compliance with the listed CEN standards, it is proposed to upgrade the current network of gas analysers to allow for the implementation of the Ambient Air Monitoring Programme (AAMP) and the automated calibration using external gas cylinders at each of the monitoring stations across the network for Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide. The execution of this project will result in significant changes to the operation and management of the ambient air monitoring network by improving quality control and traceability of the data and achieving compliance with the CAFÉ Directive.
