Air Sampling Pumps

Outdoor air monitoring demands equipment that travels well, sets up fast, and performs consistently in variable conditions. Casella Air Sampling Pumps for outdoor environments bring portability, stability, and straightforward operation to ambient and perimeter sampling tasks.

A portfolio for outdoor applications:

• Personal Sampling (Apex2): Support exposure studies for field crews and contractors, or carry out community-based personal monitoring when required by a project.
• Low-Flow Vapor Sampling (Vapex): Capture VOCs using sorbent media near construction sites, waste handling areas, or infrastructure projects.
• High-Flow Area Sampling (Vortex3): Conduct perimeter dust assessments and short-term campaigns near work zones and sensitive receptors.

Designed for field deployment:

• Portable and Rugged: Compact form factors and durable housings support transport, setup, and retrieval at multiple sites per day.
• Stable Flow: Helps maintain target flow for filter- and sorbent-based methods despite typical outdoor variability.
• Long Runtime: Supports extended sampling windows without frequent battery changes.
• Intuitive Controls: Clear interfaces reduce training time for rotating crews and seasonal staff.
• Flexible Mounting: Use tripods, site boxes, or fence-line fixtures to align with your monitoring plan.

Typical outdoor monitoring scenarios:

• Construction Perimeter Monitoring: Characterize dust and vapors around active work zones and staging areas.
• Community and Roadside Studies: Deploy pumps for short-term campaigns to assess local air quality near traffic or industrial boundaries.
• Infrastructure and Utility Projects: Evaluate airborne particulates and vapors during maintenance, excavation, and restoration work.
• Environmental Consulting: Build defensible datasets for reports and stakeholder communications.

Program benefits:

• Efficient Logistics: Easy-to-carry pumps help teams cover more sites in a day.
• Consistent Data: Stable flow supports repeatable sampling across locations and timeframes.
• Streamlined Reporting: Data logs and app support can help reduce time spent compiling results.

Selection guidance:

• Define target analytes and methods (particulate filters or sorbent tubes).
• Choose the appropriate flow range and accessories.
• Plan mounting, security, and weather considerations based on site conditions.
• Align runtime and data collection needs with project goals.

With the right combination of Casella pumps and accessories, outdoor monitoring teams can deploy focused, defensible sampling programs that meet project objectives and timelines.
