The current pandemic situation, with the tightening of coronavirus measures, has completely changed the living conditions of most people. Many are working from home to protect their health and their workplace. Often, the entire family spends almost all of their time at home without properly exchanging the indoor air at intervals due to the general closure of schools or daycare centers or the current inability to use leisure facilities outside the home.
Since Monday, 25.01.2021, it has been mandatory to wear only surgical masks or FFP2 masks when shopping in stores and on public transport. The latter are increasingly in demand due to their better filtering properties against coronavirus infection.
In the acute pandemic situation with a further increase in corona cases, we offer the new Vira-Pore virus sampling cassette for air measurement of coronaviruses in indoor air for laboratory testing.
In June 2020, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Baua) published the “National Asbestos Profile Germany” for the second time. The national asbestos situation in Germany is explained in over 70 informative pages.
In many houses, extensive refurbishment measures are only required after many years, for example, when old plaster is knocked off or old tiles or electrical cables are removed. In order to find out whether pollutants are hidden in the old building components, measurements of harmful substances such as asbestos measurements are useful.
The measuring device SG5200 is ideal for mold measurement as well as for samples of dust fractions such as A-dust and E-dust, gases, fumes or fibers. There is a particular risk of mold during the warmer months of the year.
The GSA measuring devices SG350ex and SG5100ex have been specially developed and certified for use with gas in potentially explosive atmospheres with the suffix “ex” .
When it comes to measuring occupational safety in such a hazardous environment, it makes sense to use the GSA SG350ex or SG5100ex measuring device if contact with flammable gases is possible.
