Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain high measuring sensitivity. SOLUTION: A β-ray is emitted from a β-ray source 8A to measure the β-ray transmitted through only a filter paper 1 by a β-ray detector 9A, prior to collection, in a position A, to be stored in a control/computing part 12 as an initial count value I0 . The filter paper 1 is fed thereafter by a pinch roller 3 to collect a suspended particulate substance in a collecting part 7. An initial count value I0 of a new portion in the filter paper 1 is measured concurrently in the position A at that time. After a collection time for the particulate substance passes, the pinch roller 3 is driven again to measure a β-ray transmission quantity in a position C. By this manner, the measurement of the initial count value I0 for the filer paper 1 only, the collection of the particulate substance, measurement of a count value I for a deposit layer of the filter paper 1 and the particulate substance are carried out concurrently in parallel, so as to calculate a concentration of the suspended particulate substance successively.

However, the conventional suspended particulate matter measuring apparatus is configured as described above, and the suspended particulate matter concentration is calculated using the count values of, for example, 2 minutes at the beginning and the end of the 1-hour measurement cycle. However, there is a problem that a sufficiently high sensitivity cannot be obtained, and a sufficient measure cannot be taken to measure PM2.5 as described above. Further, in the above-mentioned conventional device, in order to obtain the intermediate course of the suspended particulate matter measurement value of the trapping and concentration, a sample ventilation channel is provided between the beta ray source and the beta ray detector, As compared with the case where the radiation source and the beta ray detector are arranged horizontally with respect to the filter paper, the distance between the two becomes longer, so that there is a problem that the beta ray count value decreases and the sensitivity deteriorates. The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a suspended particulate matter measurement device capable of obtaining a large measurement sensitivity.

In general, the statistical error in radiation measurement is reduced in inverse proportion to the square root of the count, so that the error can be reduced by increasing the count. As a method of increasing the count, increase the number of radiations, that is, increase the intensity of the radiation source, or increase the efficiency of the radiation detector,
That is, it is conceivable to bring the radiation source and the detector close to each other, or to increase the radiation counting time. Since the suspended particulate matter measurement device of the present invention is configured as described above,
Prior to the collection of suspended particulate matter, for example, the count value of the period excluding the time required for the filter paper feeding out of 1 hour is used as the initial count value, and the time required for the filter paper feeding within the 1 hour after the collection is similarly set. The count value of the excluded period can be used as the count value after collection, and the counting time can be significantly increased as compared with the conventional case, so that the statistical error can be reduced.

Further, at the position where the beta ray measurement is carried out, the suspended particulate matter is not collected at the same time, so that the beta ray source and the detector can be arranged horizontally with respect to the filter paper. Can be shortened as compared with the conventional device. Since the count value of beta rays is inversely proportional to the square of the distance,
This increases the count value and reduces the statistical error. Therefore, the suspended particulate matter measuring device of the present invention has the effect of extending the collection time and the effect of shortening the distance between the beta ray source and the detector, and makes the error in the measured value significantly smaller than that of the conventional device.

Further, in the suspended particulate matter measuring device according to the second aspect, in addition to the two pairs of the beta ray source and the beta ray detector before and after the collection portion for the suspended particulate matter, The collection unit is also equipped with a pair of beta-ray source and beta-ray detector, and beta-rays can be measured even for the collection and concentration of suspended particulate matter. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the progress and the preliminary value without waiting for a highly accurate measured value calculated with a delay of about one hour after the collection.

On the other hand, in the case of measuring suspended particulate matter with two sets of detection systems, even if the same filter paper surface is measured, there are two sets due to differences in the source intensity of the beta ray source and the sensitivity of the detector. The detection system does not always have the same count value. Further, even if fine adjustment is made so that both count values become the same at the time of manufacturing, it is conceivable that a deviation may occur during subsequent use of the device. On the other hand, in the invention according to claim 3, a period in which the sample is not collected is provided at an arbitrary time, that is, a timing in which the sample is not flowed is created.
After the lapse of time, send the filter paper and obtain the beta ray count value that measured the same filter paper surface on which the collected matter is not attached by the detection system after the collection unit, and compensate the sensitivity of the detection system before and after the collection unit Therefore, the difference between the detection systems can be compensated and the measurement accuracy can be maintained.

Further, the mass of the filter paper is much larger than the mass of the collected matter, and there is a large variation in each place,
If the detection systems before and after the collecting unit do not perform beta ray measurement on the same filter paper surface, a large measurement error will occur. In order to solve this problem, claim 4 or claim 5 of the present invention is provided.
In the described invention, a plurality of beta ray sources or a plurality of beta ray detectors are housed in an integrated block,
Since the mutual positions are prevented from changing, it is possible to perform accurate measurement by combining the filter paper with a mechanism that feeds out a fixed amount.

In this embodiment, as described above, for example, 1
Compared to the conventional 2 minute counting time, the concentration of suspended particulate matter can be calculated using the count value of the time measurement cycle, excluding the time required for filter paper feeding, for example, 50 minutes. It becomes 25 times, and the statistical error can be reduced to 1/5. Further, since the suspended particulate matter is not simultaneously collected at the position where the beta ray measurement is carried out, the beta ray source and the detector can be arranged horizontally with respect to the filter paper, so that the distance between the two can be reduced. The device can be shortened, for example, from 6 mm to, for example, about 3 mm. Therefore, since the beta ray count value is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, this increases the count value by a factor of 4 and reduces the statistical error by half. Therefore, the suspended particulate matter measuring device of the present invention combines the effect of extending the collection time with the effect of shortening the distance between the beta ray source and the detector, and reduces the error in the measured value to one-tenth that of the conventional device. can do.

The suspended particulate matter measuring apparatus of the present invention is constructed as described above, and can significantly increase the counting time of beta rays as compared with the conventional method, and the beta ray source and beta ray detection. Since the instrument distance can be shortened, the error in the measured value can be greatly reduced. In addition, if a pair of beta ray source and beta ray detector is provided in the trapping part of suspended particulate matter, the progress and the preliminary report can be obtained without waiting for the highly accurate measurement value calculated about 1 hour after the collection. You can get the value. Furthermore, by setting the time during which the sample collection is not performed at an arbitrary cycle, that is, by not creating the sample collection in the sample collection part, that is, by setting the timing at which the sample is not flown, the detection before and after the collection part is performed. Since the sensitivity of the system can be compensated periodically, the difference between the detection systems is compensated,
Measurement accuracy can be maintained. Also, if multiple beta ray sources or multiple beta ray detectors are housed in an integrated block and their mutual positions do not change, by combining with a mechanism that sends out a fixed amount of filter paper. Therefore, accurate measurement can be performed.
