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.
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.
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.
