Electronic Sensor Technology's zNose(R) Excels in Monitoring of Industrial Air Quality Emissions

Posted on: Thursday, 16 February 2006, 09:00 CST

Electronic Sensor Technology (OTCBB:ESNR), a leading provider of ultra-fast vapor analyzers, announced today that the zNose(R), an electronic sensor device that can capture and analyze nearly any odor, fragrance or chemical vapor within ten seconds, has been selected by a local metal casting company for monitoring odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). According to Dr. Edward Staples, Chief Technical Officer of Electronic Sensor Technology, "this order demonstrates the versatility of the zNose(R) as a new tool for detection and analysis of foundry odors. Recent restrictions in California Air Quality and Nuisance Odor laws require foundries and other nuisance odor causing industries to measure and control their emissions, and the zNose(R) is an ideal solution for adhering to these restrictions."

The zNose(R) is the first electronic nose based on ultra-fast gas chromatography, whose results can and have been validated by independent laboratories, including the Environmental Protection Agency and White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. A library of retention time indices for over 700 volatile organics makes it easy to identify a specific pollutant. Using EST's Model 3300 Handheld Wireless Remote Sampler Accessory to collect and concentrate environmental samples in the surrounding community, part per trillion sensitivity has been demonstrated in near real time. This truly highlights what sets the zNose(R) apart from other air quality analysis equipment.

The Company recently released a Technical Paper on its website (www.zNose.com) discussing in detail the application of zNose(R) to on-site measurement of VOCs and odors. The paper can be accessed at http://www.estcal.com/TechPapers/Industrial/FoundryOdors.pdf.
