How to Set Up and Use the E-BAM for Smoke Monitoring

By Mary Ann Davies

Where there's fire, there's smoke. Increased particulate matter in smoke can impair visibility and raise health concerns. The E-BAM smoke particulate monitor uses a glass fiber filter tape and beta attenuation to estimate particulate concentrations.

This training presentation shows how to set up the smoke particulate monitor and the satellite transmission unit to send data to the Interagency Real-Time Smoke Particulate Monitoring Web site.
