MerPAS (Mercury Passive Air Sampler) is a major breakthrough for low cost mercury air monitoring.
MerPAS is much more sensitive, precise, and accurate compared to any other passive mercury air
sampler. The quality of MerPAS has been repeatedly documented by scientists at the University of Toronto# who designed, developed, and tested the sampling technology and analysis method. MerPAS is complementary to high resolution, electronic continuous air mercury monitoring by extending the spatial coverage at a reasonable cost. The MerPAS device functions using a carbon-based trapping media housed inside a diffusive sleeve. The sampler is integrated into a container for easy deployment, collection, and shipping.
