DRUM Impactors
Researchers use DRUM impactors to assess air quality all over the world: on every continent, within the upper atmosphere and in submarines1.
DRUM impactors collect high resolution aerosol samples. Compared to a filter that collects a conglomerate of particle sizes over a 24 hour time period, a DRUM impactor runs contineously, collecteing the same sample segragated by size and time. Researchers can then pinpoint anomolies within an aerosol sample.
One of our most powerful tools is to observe short spikes of high concentrations of pollutants and trace back to the source of orgin. In this way, DRUM impactors protect human health and have been instrumental in saving lives and exposing the 9/11 disaster cover-up.
Current research suggests that fine and ultra-fine particulates penetrate deep within the lungs and cardiovascular system, damaging the arteries and the heart itself. In particular, Vanadium and Nickle correlate strongly to death rates due to strokes and ischemic heart disease. While lung cancer is linked to heavy metals, including Beryllium, Cadnium, Chromium and Arsenic.
