Describes development of and results obtained from an analyzer engineered by Picarro for measuring six important atmospheric contaminants (hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane) that are of interest to researchers monitoring Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).

Picarro has developed a field-deployable, real time, ambient gas monitor capable of measuring atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia with parts-per-billion (ppbv) sensitivity and water vapor with parts-per-million (ppmv) sensitivity. Results from field trials of three different CO2 analyzers at Harvard, Penn State, and the NOAA facility in Boulder CO…

Description of field-deployable instrumentation that measures carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor with both high-accuracy and high-precision would reduce the uncertainty in the determination of terrestrial sources and sinks of these dominant greenhouse gases.

Results presented from field trials at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and laboratory tests at INSTAAR of a newly available analyzer capable of performing continuous measurements of stable isotopes (δD and δ18O) of liquid water and / or water vapor samples.

Picarro has developed an isotope analyzer for lab and field measurements of carbon isotopes in CO₂ with the goal of allowing turnkey analysis to be done without the need for flask samples and complex IRMS methods. Here we present a description of the analyzer and its technology as well as recent results from two different collaborators who utilized the analyzer.

Describes results from a Picarro N2O analyzer based in the mid-infrared spectral region.

The quantification of fugitive methane emissions from extended sources such as landfills is problematic due to the high temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity of the emission. Additionally, the relationship between the emission rate and the gas concentration at a given location is dependent on the meteorological conditions and local topography, preventing accurate quantification of…

Ammonia (NH₃) is the highest abundant alkaline gas in the atmosphere, and it is a major contributor to total reactive nitrogen in the environment and causes long-term climate change problems. NH₃ is also a hazardous pollutant with detrimental impacts on human health that demands strict control over personal exposure levels. High-precision quantification of NH_3…

In this poster, Picarro shares research and recommended best practices for using Picarro water isotope analyzers to measure highly enriched and depleted δ²H water isotope samples. These tips will be especially helpful for hydrological tracer studies and kinesiological applications. The experiments show how the Picarro water isotope analyzers’ Express Mode…

This poster highlights a case study on the impacts of wildfire emissions in Canada on the Carolinas and Virginia. It features some really interesting findings comparing the Picarro G2307’s formaldehyde measurements to those from the EPA National Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS) Network. It shows that by correcting for drift over time, a lower detection limit and…

Anthropogenic emissions from traffic and industrial activities and their impact on air quality are a major concern in urban areas. The concentration of the air pollutants from these sources is typically measured with stationary air quality monitors, which are often limited in number. In addition, these stationary measurements often prove inadequate in representing the emission scenarios of…
