Environmental Monitors are essential tools for quantitatively evaluating various environmental elements such as air, water quality, soil and noise for measuring the quality of the environment.
These instruments accurately measure the concentration of harmful substances and noise levels and play an important role in environmental conservation, evaluation of health risks and confirmation of compliance with laws and regulations.
Environmental Monitors are important measurement instruments for quantitatively evaluating various elements in our living environment and monitoring the quality of the environment.
These instruments measure a wide range of environmental parameters including air, water quality, soil, noise and vibration as an essential role in environmental protection and health risk assessment.
Typical applications for Environmental Monitors include:
The data obtained by these devices is also an important source of information for formulating environmental policies and working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Environmental Monitors are classified according to the object and application of the measurement as follows:
These measuring instruments are used for various purposes such as environmental protection, compliance with laws and regulations for ensuring health and safety. For example, Air Quality Monitors are used for monitoring air quality in cities and managing exhaust gases from factories and Water Quality Monitors are used for evaluating the water quality of rivers and lakes.
When selecting an environmental monitoring instrument, it is important to consider measurement accuracy, usability and maintenability.
Air Quality Monitors are important devices for measuring the state and composition of the atmosphere.
The main types include:
These devices are used for a variety of purposes including environmental monitoring, health impact assessment and regulatory compliance.
The balance between measurement accuracy and usability is important and it is necessary to select the appropriate device depending on the purpose of use.
Water Quality Monitors are important tools for evaluating the chemical, physical and biological properties of water.
The main types include:
These instruments are used for a variety of purposes including early detection of water pollution, environmental protection, water resource management and maintaining public health. In many cases, multiple measuring instruments are used in combination to monitor water quality 24 hours a day.
Soil Monitors play an important role in the agricultural and environmental science fields to evaluate soil properties.
The main types include:
These instruments are used for a variety of purposes including optimizing the growing environment for crops and evaluating soil contamination. In many cases, multiple instruments are used in combination to perform a comprehensive soil evaluation.
There are two main types of Noise Monitors: ordinary Sound Level Meters and precision Sound Level Meters. Ordinary Sound Level Meters are suitable for general environmental noise measurements and can measure in the frequency range of 20Hz to 8000Hz.
On the other hand, precision Sound Level Meters are more accurate and cover a wider frequency range from 20Hz to 12500Hz and are used in research and evaluation of acoustic products.
The basic mechanics of these Sound Level Meters are as follows:
High-performance Sound Level Meters are equipped with logging and low-frequency sound measurement functions enabling long-term continuous measurement and detailed analysis.
These devices are used for a variety of purposes including environmental assessments, industrial noise monitoring and noise management at construction sites.
Vibration Monitors are important instruments for detecting and quantifying vibrations in structures and machines.
The main types include:
The basic principle of a vibration measuring instrument is to convert vibration into an electrical signal using a weight and a spring. The measured vibration is expressed as a physical quantity such as acceleration, velocity and displacement.
These devices are used in a wide range of fields including factory facility maintenance, earthquake resistance evaluation of buildings and environmental vibration measurement.
