With decades of experience, we know more about and carbonaceous aerosols than anyone else, and we’re ready to answer any question our customers may have. From practical setup to advanced scientific support, we’re with you every step of the way.

TO MEASURE IS TO KNOW

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments provide reliable, user-friendly, and comprehensive measurement and detailed analysis of black, brown, organic, elemental, total carbon, and other carbonaceous aerosols, including primary and secondary organic aerosols.
We empower researchers, regulators, and industry professionals to make informed decisions that improve air quality, advance climate science, and protect public health.

01

Users of Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments monitor black carbon, also known as soot, and other carbonaceous aerosols in hundreds of air quality networks on all continents. Our instruments help in large cities, where air pollution affects most people.

02

Aerosol Magee Scientific is the first choice of responsible people who are aware of the dangers of climate change. Black carbon and carbonaceous aerosols are the second most important contributor to global warming due to its absorption of light.

03

Black carbon, brown carbon, and other aerosols pose a threat to human health worldwide. They are universal carriers of a wide variety of chemicals that are toxic to the human body and affect the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, and immune systems.

04

Harmful particles in the air mainly come from the human impact on various environments: industrial facilities, construction sites, airports, schools, communities and cities. Change the way we act and live based on precise data.

Aerosol Magee Scientific participates in development projects funded by national and European Union programs. In collaboration with research institutions and industry partners, these co-funded projects facilitate the pooling of expertise, resources, and risk mitigation to support technological progress.
