Mold is often found after renovation work and can pose a health risk. Depending on the mold infestation and health sensitivity, allergic reactions or infections can be triggered. The formation should therefore be treated professionally without delay. In order to localize the spread and concentration, it is advisable to take samples with the GSA measuring devices SG5200 to measure the mould.

Disaster flood 2021 – Damage
Several months have already passed since the catastrophic flood of 2021, from 14.07-15.07.2021, with its focus on the night, flooded entire areas of Germany with extreme masses of water.
No one will forget the images in the Ahr Valley, where entire houses collapsed under the persistent record rainfall and in some cases people and animals were unable to save themselves in the catastrophic flood 201. The flooding was particularly severe in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. The neighboring countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria were also affected in parts by this flood disaster. The floods of 2021 far overshadowed the storm years 2002 and 2013. The damage caused by the flood is estimated at over 29 billion euros.
Measure mold with SG5200
SG5200 measuring devices to precisely measure mold
The measuring device SG5200 can be used to measure various hazardous substances, including mold. The SG5200 can be used both for personal sampling, such as in the breathing zone, as well as stationary for up to two hours at up to 5000 ml/min for mold measurement. The SG5200 measuring devices are easy to operate and can generate a large volume flow range for measurement.
Testing mold infestation
Testing for mold infestation is often a necessity
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.
