Measuring of harmful substances during remediation measures
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.
Sampling of pollutants
They provide clarification as to whether hazardous substances were used in the walls set at the time, in the tile adhesives and other materials used for insulation, for example. Asbestos is suspected to have been used in houses built in the 1970s. A lot of these fibers were used here because of the numerous possible uses of the material.
The current danger with these remediation measures is that they are then released during the removal process and become a health hazard for the people who are exposed to them. Special health and safety rules must then be observed.
GSA measuring devices for measuring of harmful substances
If you want clarity about possible pollutants in the materials, sampling is required for your remediation project.
In our store at GSA-Messgeraete.de we offer you the right GSA measuring devices for the most diverse types of measuring of harmful substances for your project.
This gives you certainty about possible hazardous substances and allows you to provide appropriate occupational health and safety measures for the employees carrying out the work in advance of the remediation and during the demolition and remediation work.
Especially for projects where asbestos fibers are suspected in the formerly installed materials, we can offer you suitable GSA measuring devices that fulfill the special measuring purpose. We will be happy to advise you on the selection of the right measuring device. We also offer comprehensive pollutant analyses through our partner company GSA Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik.

Our SG12 GSA measuring devices are especially excellent for fibre measurements of asbestos fibers and are frequently requested by renowned customers. With decades of experience, we develop professional measuring devices for the measuring of harmful substances . We also repair and maintain your GSA measuring devices.
Sampling, such as for asbestos measurement, also provides precise certainty about the proportion of substances in the building rubble at the end of the renovation work. This means that it can be correctly separated and in some cases even disposed of more cheaply.
Hazardous materials such as asbestos must never be disposed of with household waste, but are hazardous special waste. They must be securely packaged and taken to special disposal sites.
