SPECIAL APPLICATION In order to reap the benefits of nuclear energy responsibly, both users and regulatory organizations must monitor the degree to which radioactive byproducts of human activity enter the environment. Human activities that generate radioactive particles include scientific experiments involving radiation, medical therapies, nuclear-powered submarines, x-ray procedures, nuclear power plants, and smoke detectors. The potential for misuse of radioactive materials and weapons by terrorist organizations and other criminals also demands vigilant radiation monitoring. Nuclear power is...

Collection is the first step of air, water and soil testing. An appropriate, representative sample is critical for accurate results. Millipore offers products for collecting diverse samples such as in-line purified water, liquid from cooling towers, air or other gases, and environmental field samples.

Environmental Sample Collection Aerosol Filter Holders Vacuum-filter air or other gases from open atmospheres or from closed systems for particulate contamination analysis. Three-piece, 25 and 37 mm Aerosol Analysis Monitors Aerosol monitors contain 0.45 pm and 0.8 pm MCE membranes. Convenient matched weight monitors include two filters matched to within 0.1 mg. A cellulose support seal between monitor sections distributes sample evenly over the filter.
