Started in 1992, Airmetrics is located in Eugene, OR, and is an enterprise fund of the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority (LRAPA). Airmetrics, in conjunction with the US EPA, developed the patented low-flow technology found in the MiniVol Portable Air Sampler to address the need for portable, ambient air sampling.

Airmetrics' purpose, as identified in its 1999 Business Plan, is to "protect public health and the environment by providing practical and innovative solutions to air monitoring problems." To achieve this goal, Airmetrics has continually improved the MiniVol's design while expanding the company's product line.

Airmetrics employs five people and generates nearly $1 million in revenue each year. Proceeds from the enterprise fund are used to supplement LRAPA's budget by covering some fixed costs and providing for numerous capital improvements.
