The Grumman Air Monitor System.

Abstract

An automated air sampling system has been developed that can be used in any transportation vehicle to monitor local air quality. This system is particularly useful for a concept to obtain worldwide profiles of air quality, for example, using commercial airliners. The system consists of a controller module and modular collection and storage units, each containing five 5-liter inflatable bags. Automatic inflation of any one aluminum-coated mylar or teflon bag of an installed system can be programmed for any portion of a 24-hour period. Operational characteristics of the equipment and the technique are given to show its suitability for the proposed applications. The report briefly describes the operation of this system.
