Measure particulate matter in the home with SG10-2 and PM4-2
How can particulate matter be detected in the home?
The amount of dust and particulate matter in the air can be measured, for example with our measuring device SG10-2 or the PM4-2 measuring devices. Our partner GSA Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik can determine the individual components of the dust sample using the so-called dust swab sample. Typically, textile fibers, dander, hair and pollen are found in the household. Flower pollen in particular can trigger symptoms and have a negative impact on (existing) allergies.
