Real-World Applications. Proven Impact.

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are essential tools for both basic and advanced air quality measurement; for monitoring environmental changes; and for supporting efforts to protect human health and the planet. They enable precise detection of airborne particles, assessment of pollution sources, and long-term climate research. The high-quality data they provide is essential for advancing our understanding and our efforts to improve human health and the state of our world.

AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments monitor black carbon and other carbonaceous aerosols in hundreds of air quality networks on every continent in the world. Our instruments are installed in large cities, where air pollution affects the most people: and at the most remote locations, to detect the global dispersion of pollution.

countries where Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are installed
Some are deep underground monitoring diesel exhaust in mines; some are at remote locations such as the Base Camp of Mt. Everest to measure the global dispersal of pollution. Our instruments are used at research stations from the Amazon Jungle to the Sahara Desert, from Spitzbergen to the South Pole. Our instruments are installed at agency stations from San Francisco to Shanghai, from Dublin to Delhi, and everywhere in between. They are used for fundamental research, air quality monitoring, environmental engineering, and other applications.

AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Users of Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments monitor black carbon, also known as soot, and other carbonaceous aerosols, which are a major constituent of regulated PM2.5. Our air monitoring equipment is installed in hundreds of air quality networks on all continents. Locations range from large cities, where air pollution affects the most people: to the most remote locations, to detect the global impact of human activity.
Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are synonymous with data that is reliable and consistent over time. Continuous measurements linked to fundamental references permit high-quality monitoring and in-depth long-term and trend analysis. When introducing new products, we always ensure that data from existing, updated, and new instruments is identical and consistent. Data continuity is our core value.

AIR QUALITY RESEARCH, CLIMATE RESEARCH 

Aerosol Magee Scientific is the first choice for studying the dangers of climate change. Black carbon and carbonaceous aerosols are the second most important contributor to global warming due to their absorption of light. At a time when we are all working together to keep the global temperature from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, considering the impact of carbonaceous aerosols on temperature and premature thawing is all the more important.
Our instruments are integral to advancing aerosol science and conducting rigorous atmospheric research, providing high-resolution data that supports a wide range of climatological studies and environmental policies.
