If there is a risk of heavy metal exposure at the workplace, it often makes sense to test for heavy metal exposure. It is important to consider a few points in advance. Our GSA measuring devices SG10-2A or PM4-2, for example, are suitable for this purpose.
These devices can be used to measure the particle measurements of the dust fraction of A-dust and/or E-dust.
When storing pollutants, a release of the substances is always possible and requires regular monitoring as part of occupational safety, such as measuring of harmful substances.
Precise measuring of harmful substances can be carried out by the GSA Messgerätebau for gases, for example. Our measuring device SG5100ex is recommended for this, as it is equipped with explosion protection.
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.
Diesel engine emissions (DEE) can be determined with our PM4-2 measuring device. To measure diesel engine emissions, it generates a constant air volume flow. Furthermore, fluctuations in the air during sampling of diesel engine emissions can be compensated for by pressure and temperature compensation. This means that precise measurements of diesel engine emissions can be carried out despite fluctuating weather conditions and temperatures.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
