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.
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 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 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.
With the measuring device SG350ex, the mass fractions of hydrocarbons can be determined by means of an RCP measurement. The measurement with the measuring device SG350ex is used to check occupational health and safety. It can be used to test whether the permissible occupational limit values of the respective mixtures are exceeded or whether there is no specific health hazard.
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.
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.
