POM™, Personal Ozone Monitor

The World's Smallest Ozone Monitor

EPA Federal Equivalent Method (FEM)

POM Personal Ozone Monitor

The basic POM unit has dimensions of 4 x 3 x 1.5 inches and weighs only 0.8 lb / 1.0 lb without/with battery (360 g / 450 g ). It has a built in GPS so that ozone measurements may be logged continuously along with geographic location. By folding the optical path in the shape of a "U," it was possible to achieve the same path length in the POM as in the Models 202, 205, and 106-L and thus have similar precision and accuracy (~1.5 ppb).

The POM has been designated by the US EPA as a Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) for ozone: EQOA–0815–227.
