Real-World Applications. Proven Impact.

Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are essential tools for basic and advanced air quality measurement, monitoring environmental changes, and 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 efforts to improve human health and the state of our planet.

AIR QUALITY MONITORING

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. They help in large cities, where air pollution affects most people.

HEALTH EFFECTS RESEARCH

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.

AIR QUALITY RESEARCH,
CLIMATE RESEARCH

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 the absorption of light

CLEAN AIR FOR ALL

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.

countries where Aerosol Magee Scientific instruments are installed

They are deep underground to monitor diesel exhaust in mines and at the Base Camp of Mt. Everest to measure the regional pollution of remote locations. 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 in 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.

To measure is to know.

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 a regulated PM2.5. Our air monitoring devices are installed in hundreds of air quality networks on all continents. They help in large cities, where air pollution affects most people.

Aerosol Magee Scientific is synonymous with data that is comparable over time. Continuous measurements and reference data provide 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 comparable. Data continuity is our core value.

AIR QUALITY RESEARCH, CLIMATE RESEARCH

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 the 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 ice melt is all the more important.

Our instruments are integral to advancing aerosol science and conducting rigorous air quality research of atmospheric air, providing high-resolution data that supports a wide range of climatological studies and environmental policies.
