Wood preservative test with PM4-2

Wood preservative test with GSA measuring devices PM4-2

A wood preservative test is advisable if a health hazard is suspected. The GSA measuring device PM4-2 is recommended for a wood preservative test.

The measuring device PM4-2 can provide meaningful measurements due to its relatively high air flow rate, even at locations with low levels of pollution.

After the wood preservative analysis, you can be sure whether there is a potential risk to health. Our measurement technicians will be happy to create a customized measurement concept for you.

Measure asbestos fibers with measuring device SG12 to determine health hazards

The measuring device SG12, specially developed for asbestos measurement, can be used to precisely measure even very low concentrations of asbestos fibers. It is suitable for sampling inorganic fibrous particles in accordance with VDI 3492 and ISO 14966 as well as asbestos or AMF. It can also be used to measure the various dust fractions such as A-dust or E-dust.

An analysis of asbestos is then carried out to determine the concentration of this hazardous material in the building.

If it is suspected that material containing asbestos was used in the construction of buildings, a measurement is advisable.

The GSA Messgerätebau GmbH manufactures its own suitable measuring devices for measuring hazardous substances. In addition, every asbestos hazard situation is unique. For this reason, we are happy to develop a suitable measurement strategy for sampling asbestos for you.

Testing mold infestation

Testing mould infestation

Testing for mold infestation is often a necessity

In order to obtain clarity about a mold infestation situation, a precise analysis of the mold infestation should be carried out. In addition to self-testing, a professional analysis after testing can provide precise results that often initiate further important measures. GSA Schadstoffanalytik carries out this precise analysis after sampling for mold infestation testing.

Measure VOC exposure – recognize hazards

Measure VOC exposure

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

To verify this, an indoor air measurement can be carried out with our SG350ex measuring device. If larger volume flows are required, the SG5100ex or SG5200 measuring devices can be used.

Measure mold infestation

Measure mould infestigation

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.
