The Information System for Hazardous Substances (IGS-public), an online portal of the Landesamt für Natur, Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz Nordrhein-Westfalen (LANUV), provides consumers with free information on substance characteristics and legislation on chemical and biological substances. The database with around 250,000 entries on substances contains important information on health protection and the handling of hazardous substances.
Hazardous substance measurement at the workplace
Old night storage heaters – often contaminated with asbestos – PCB – chromate
Depending on the year of construction and model type, night storage heaters can still be heavily contaminated with asbestos and other harmful pollutants such as PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and chromate (chromium VI). In order to measure possible asbestos contamination indoors, GSA measuring devices offers suitable measuring devices such as the SG12 for asbestos measurement.
Hazardous substance measurement at the workplace – A-dust fraction
Measuring devices for sampling the dust fraction A-dust
As a partner in occupational health and safety, we offer measuring devices that are ideal for measuring the particle fraction A-dust. For example, the measuring device SG10-2 is a good choice for particle measurements of the dust fraction.
