Wearing respiratory helmets with head protection is an important form of protection when working in hazardous environments, particularly in trade, industry and construction. This includes, in particular, possible contact with hazardous substances.
The SG10-2A can be used to measure dust particles very precisely, taking into account the respective size specification of the “aerodynamic diameter”. With the measuring device SG10-2A, samples of hazardous substances up to 10 l/min according to EN 481 – both stationary and stationary – can be measured.
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.
Users generally do not imagine fine dust pollution in the home – simply by lighting and burning atmospheric candles – and are aware of the possible effects on health. Candles are particularly popular in the run-up to Christmas.
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.
Strict limit values for permissible dust exposure apply to occupational safety in environments with dusts. This is particularly important for checking dust exposure at the workplace in order to avoid health hazards.
The GSA measuring device SG10-2A enables the measurement of dusts and other hazardous substances up to 10 l/min in accordance with EN 481.

The GSA measuring device SG10-2A enables the measurement of dusts and other hazardous substances up to 10 l/min in accordance with EN 481.
The occupational limit values describe the maximum permitted exposure to a substance at the workplace. This is based on regular contact over a 40-hour working week (5 days of 8 hours each). Important safety measures at the workplace can be derived from the results obtained.
GSA ‘s FSP2 personal sampling system is equipped with a cyclone. This is a licensed sampling system that is used, for example, for particle measurements of dust fractions of A-dust or E-dust at the workplace in order to determine the dust load there.
Measuring dust exposure at the workplace is always useful when occupational limit values must be complied with.
The media can no longer imagine life without particulate matter pollution, but what is it and how dangerous is it for us? The debate flares up again on New Year’s Eve: does this mean the end of rockets and firecrackers?
Wood dust is classified as E-dust and poses a great risk of the particles settling in the lungs or affecting other parts of the body. For wood dust measurement and particle measurement of the dust fraction of E-dust, we recommend our measuring device SG10-2A for stationary measurement or the SG5100ex and SG5200 devices for personal measurement.
With regard to a wood dust explosion, we recommend our SG5100ex measuring device, as it has been specially developed for potentially explosive atmospheres.
