Definition of pollutants
In general usage, pollutants are all substances and mixtures of substances that pose a risk to human health and the environment. A distinction is made between two categories, natural and synthetic pollutants.

Measuring of harmful substances in welding fumes
Measuring of harmful substances in welding fumes with measuring device SG5200 and SG5100ex
Our SG5200 and SG5100ex sampling devices are recommended for measuring harmful substances when working with welding fumes. These are personal measuring devices that can detect dusts, gases and fumes. Simultaneous measurement of E-dust and A-dust in welding fumes requires the PGP EA sampling system in accordance with IFA. These are sampling heads specially developed for this measurement, which enable a meaningful measurement.
Measuring quartz dust – Occupational safety
Measuring quartz dust with GSA PM4-2 and SG10-2 measuring devices
If quartz dust is present at the workplace, measures such as measuring quartz dust are a sensible occupational health and safety measure.
We offer two systems for this purpose: Firstly, the measuring device PM4-2 with A-dust head for stationary measurement and the measuring devices SG10-2 with fine dust sampling system 10 (according to IFA) for personal measurement at the workplace.
World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace
History
28.04. is the World Day for Safety and Health at the Workplace.
This day was established in 1984 by the International Labor Organization (ILO) with a focus on prevention. The aim is to show that most accidents at work are avoidable. The protection of employees is particularly emphasized on this day, as better prevention not only protects health, but also saves costs. Every year, this day has a different motto.
Measure VOC exposure – recognize hazards
Measure VOC exposure with SG350ex, SG5100ex or SG5200 measuring devices
If health problems occur after a renovation, such as headaches, dizziness or similar, it is reasonable to suspect that this could be due to VOC exposure.
Measuring VOC exposure with GSA measuring devices
Measuring cooling lubricants
Measure hazardous cooling lubricants with SG5200 and SG100ex measuring devices
Our SG5200 or SG5100ex samplers can be used to check for possible hazards caused by lubricants. These measuring devices for measuring cooling lubricants are coupled with the GGP sampling system and can, for example, detect oil aerosols and measure cooling lubricants.
If you have any questions about measuring hazardous cooling lubricants or the measuring devices, our staff will be happy to help.
What are cooling lubricants?
Definition
Cooling lubricant is a collective term for mixtures of substances that are used in metalworking for cooling and lubrication. It is often a multi-component mixture, as the basic substances – water and oil – alone do not have the desired effect. There are two main effects:
- Cooling: Lowering the temperature caused by friction
- Lubrication: Reduction of friction between tool and workpiece
Asbestos measurement with SG12
Perform precise fibre measurements for asbestos fibers with measuring device SG12
If asbestos-containing substances are suspected, an asbestos measurement should be carried out. With our measuring device SG12 fiber measurements for asbestos fibers, our measurement technicians check whether asbestos is present.
If materials containing asbestos were found during the asbestos measurement, professional removal is absolutely advisable. There are some important points to bear in mind during removal and disposal.
Measure mold infestation
Measure mold infestation after the first signs are visible
It is difficult to recognize mould infestation at first. In some cases, mould infestation must be measured in order to identify potential hazards. As soon as you notice characteristic features, the infestation is often already well advanced. These include visible discoloration (white/green/black/yellow areas) or the typical “musty” smell, which quickly returns even after intensive ventilation.
SG10-2A and PM4-2 particulate matter meters measure particulate matter pollution
SG10-2A and PM4-2 particulate matter meter – possible uses
If you want to measure fine dust pollution, our SG10-2A and PM4-2 fine dust measuring devices are the best choice.
The SG10-2A particulate matter monitor can be used for both stationary and portable applications. In addition, the SG10-2A and PM4-2 are capable of measuring larger sample volumes. To make a suitable selection, please contact us at any time.
