The GSA measuring devices SG12 is specially designed for measuring asbestos and for sampling inorganic fibrous particles such as KMF in accordance with VDI 3492 and ISO 14966. According to VDI 3492, eight hours are sufficient for sampling. According to DGUV 213-546, measurement at the workplace is possible in two hours. The SG12 can be used stationary for fiber measurements of asbestos fibers as well as for particle measurements of the dust fractions A-dust and E-dust.
Asbestos – Building in existing buildings
In October 2021, the brochure “Branchenlösung Asbestos beim Bauen im Bestand – Handlungshilfe für Tätigkeiten an asbesthaltigen Putz, Spachtelmassen und Fliesenklebern” was published by BG BAU (Berufsgenossenschaft der Bauwirtschaft). It is intended to provide companies and employees involved in building work with asbestos with important practical guidance on protective measures.
Measuring pollutants in the home
Pollutants in the home or workplace can pose a serious health risk. If there is a suspicion of air quality pollution, for example due to the occurrence of various symptoms (“sick building syndrome”), an air measurement can provide clarity.
Measuring of harmful substances at the workplace
The Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik has been a competent partner in the field of measuring harmful substances at the workplace for decades.
As we have carried out numerous measurements and analyses in the company for possible measurements of harmful substances, we have a direct insight into what our measurement technicians need.
Measure indoor air pollutants according to VDI 3492 with SG12 and sampling head
VDI 3492 – VDI guideline for the determination of indoor air pollutants
VDI 3492 is one of numerous VDI guidelines drawn up by the VDI (Association of German Engineers). They contain trend-setting rules and recommendations for the state of the art and for science. They are relevant for daily practice.
Delta virus on the rise – efficiently measuring coronaviruses with Vira-Pore in the air
The ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control) assumes that ninety percent of all new coronavirus infections within the European Union and the countries of Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein will be attributable to the “delta variant” by the end of August 2021 .
Breathing helmets with head protection
Breathing helmets with head protection – important protection in dangerous work situations
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.
Dust particle measurement using GSA device SG10-2A
Dust particle measurement for fine dust
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.
Nanoparticles and the REACH Regulation
What are nanoparticles?
The term nanoparticle is used to describe particles with a size between 1 and 100 nanometers in height, width or length. The Greek term “nanos” means dwarf and illustrates the size dimension.
Improving indoor air indoors
Simple strategies for improving indoor air
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.
