Sampling pipe with Nafion tube Nafion - The Perfect Drying Material Nafion is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (Teflon ). Like Teflon, Nafion is highly resistant to chemical attack, but the presence of its exposed sulfonic acid groups confers unusual properties. Sulfonic acid has a very high water-of-hydration, absorbing 13 molecules of water for every sulfonic acid group in the polymer; consequently, Nafion absorbs 22% by weight of water. Unlike micro-porous membrane permeation, which transfers water through a relatively slow diffusion process, Nafion removes water by absorption as waterof-hydration. This absorption occurs as a First Order Kinetic reaction, so equilibrium is reached very quickly (typically with in milliseconds). Because this is a specific chemical reaction with water, gases being dried or processed are usually entirely unaffected. 19 Stationary Dust Monitor / Size Distribution Jorge Anjos GRIMM # 190 Aerosol Spectrometer Counts with 31 Size Channels or Fine Dust Monitor with the same specifications as the #180 #265 semi volutile compounds Data from the E-SVC *specification of the semi volutile sompounds in ambient air * Stainless steal housing * Long term measurement * 47mm PTFE Filter possible µg/m ³ 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 E-SVC Heater: 100 C, Intervall 20 min Ein / 40 min Aus 07:13 07:39 08:05 08:31 08:57 09:23 09:49 10:15 10:41 11:07 11:33 11:59 12:25 12:51 13:17 13:43 14:09 14:35 15:01 15:27 PM-10 120PM-2.5 Heater 100 80 60 C 40 20 0 3

SVC-Semi-Volatile Compounds Field Test in Austria Particles in the ambient air consist of solid and semi-volatile components. Semi-volatile compounds make up 20% to 50% of the PM2.5 Common samplers are losing semi-volatiles due to the ongoing sampling from the filter or by heating the sample probe to prevent condensation. Result: most measurements are underestimated. 6
