CEN/TS 16976 Transformation into EN 16976: A Milestone in Ambient Air Monitoring

Ambient air quality monitoring is a critical aspect of environmental protection and public health. To ensure consistent and reliable measurements across Europe, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has developed a number of standards that guide the design and implementation of air quality monitoring systems. One of these standards, CEN/TS 16976, is currently transforming and emerging as EN 16976, bringing significant improvements to ambient air monitoring practices with regard to particle number concentration (PNC). In this blog post, we will explore the journey of CEN/TS 16976 to EN 16976 and its impact on environmental monitoring.

PM2.5 vs. PM10: Why They Sometimes Read the Same and What it Means for Indoor Air Quality

Particulate matter (PM) is a serious air pollutant that can have detrimental effects on human health. PM can be classified based on size, with PM2.5 and PM10 being the most commonly measured. However, it's not uncommon to see the same readings for PM2.5 and PM10, particularly indoors. In this blog post, we'll explore why this is the case and what it means for air quality inside your building.
