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.
As GSA Messgerätebau GmbH, we offer accurate fibre measurements for asbestos fibers and their analysis. It is always advisable to have the sampling for asbestos measurement and analysis carried out by experts. Our measurement technicians will be happy to advise you on all questions relating to sampling and subsequent fiber measurements for asbestos fibers. Contact us at any time so that an individual measurement concept can be developed. As an accredited testing laboratory, GSA Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik is a competent partner at your side.
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.
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.
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.
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.
PAHs – (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) is a collective term for a group of substances consisting of organic components.
These consist of two or more (up to seven) benzene rings bonded together, which is why they are also referred to as condensed ring systems. The ring-shaped hydrocarbons often have additional substituents (frequently methyl groups) or derivatives (oxygen or nitrogen).
Once you have decided which (harmful) substances are to be measured, the next step is to select suitable pollutant measuring devices. In order to find a suitable measuring device, further criteria must be taken into account.
This includes the location of the pollutant measuring devices (stationary or portable), the required explosion protection and the desired nominal volume flow.
Fibre measurements of asbestos fibres are used to identify dangerous fibers that are harmful to health in order to prevent dangerous health effects. For example, asbestos fibres can cause lung cancer. The GSA Messgerätebau has a selection of measuring devices such as the measuring device SG12 to detect and measure asbestos fiber occurrences.
In the field of measurement technology, GSA is the point of contact for the use of measuring devices. For example, our measuring device SG12 is ideally suited for carrying out fibre measurements of asbestos fibers. Our partner, GSA Ratingen, offers the possibility of carrying out measurements on your behalf. For further information, please contact GSA Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik.
