The Environment Agency is the leading public body for protecting and improving the environment in England and Wales. The agency's work includes tackling flooding and pollution incidents, reducing industrial impact on the environment, cleaning up rivers, coastal waters and contaminated land, and improving natural habitats for flora and fauna. The agency also provides direction to waste disposal companies on the management of landfill gas.

As part of its guidance for monitoring and quantifying trace components in landfill gas, the Environmental Agency references the Jerome Gold Film Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer for reliable field measurement of this toxic, corrosive and explosive trace component. Within its recommended approach the agency states the instrument should have a high specificity for H2S and not suffer interferences from regularly encountered species such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water vapor. These are well proven attributes of the Jerome technology.

“Hydrogen sulfide is the only priority trace component that can be reliably quantified in the field — though only if the readings are below 50 ppm. If concentrations are higher, then laboratory measurement is required for accurate quantification. Portable instruments may, however, provide orders of magnitude results”.

The Jerome Portable Gold Film Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer is designed and manufactured in the USA by Arizona Instrument LLC.
