The current pandemic situation, with the tightening of coronavirus measures, has completely changed the living conditions of most people. Many are working from home to protect their health and their workplace. Often, the entire family spends almost all of their time at home without properly exchanging the indoor air at intervals due to the general closure of schools or daycare centers or the current inability to use leisure facilities outside the home.
In general, the term pollutants refers to substances that have a harmful effect on health and/or the environment.
The pollutants can be solids, gases/fumes or liquids and are usually present as mixtures of substances.
The hazard potential depends on the type of substance and the duration and frequency of exposure.
It is often necessary to measure harmful substances in kindergartens.
In this case GSA Messgerätebau is the right contact, as we have more than 20 years of experience in the measurement and assessment of harmful substances in kindergartens and other public facilities.
If there is a suspicion of pollution in the kindergarten because an odor is perceived, symptoms of exposure to pollutants are increasing or other signs point to this (such as mold on the walls), a measurement should be considered.
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.
How do the various pollutants affect health and why is prevention so important? This is an elementary question if pollutants could be present at the workplace or if they are used for production or could be generated there.
