The Gesellschaft für Schadstoffanalytik has been a competent partner in the field of measuring harmful substances at the workplace for decades.
As we have carried out numerous measurements and analyses in the company for possible measurements of harmful substances, we have a direct insight into what our measurement technicians need.
Wearing respiratory helmets with head protection is an important form of protection when working in hazardous environments, particularly in trade, industry and construction. This includes, in particular, possible contact with hazardous substances.
The SG10-2A can be used to measure dust particles very precisely, taking into account the respective size specification of the “aerodynamic diameter”. With the measuring device SG10-2A, samples of hazardous substances up to 10 l/min according to EN 481 – both stationary and stationary – can be measured.
The GSA measuring devices SG350ex and SG5100ex have been specially developed and certified for use with gas in potentially explosive atmospheres with the suffix “ex” .
When it comes to measuring occupational safety in such a hazardous environment, it makes sense to use the GSA SG350ex or SG5100ex measuring device if contact with flammable gases is possible.
GSA indoor air measuring devices reliably detect the presence and harmful quantities of solvents in the home. If, for example, an unpleasant odor develops in the course of new furniture or other furnishings, or if symptoms only occur in one room, there may be solvent pollution.
The GSA measuring device SG350ex is particularly suitable when it comes to escaping gases. These room air measuring devices therefore provide more information about the gases present in the room under investigation.
Wood dust is classified as E-dust and poses a great risk of the particles settling in the lungs or affecting other parts of the body. For wood dust measurement and particle measurement of the dust fraction of E-dust, we recommend our measuring device SG10-2A for stationary measurement or the SG5100ex and SG5200 devices for personal measurement.
With regard to a wood dust explosion, we recommend our SG5100ex measuring device, as it has been specially developed for potentially explosive atmospheres.
Our SG5200 and SG5100ex sampling devices are recommended for measuring harmful substances when working with welding fumes. These are personal measuring devices that can detect dusts, gases and fumes. Simultaneous measurement of E-dust and A-dust in welding fumes requires the PGP EA sampling system in accordance with IFA. These are sampling heads specially developed for this measurement, which enable a meaningful measurement.
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.
Our SG5200 or SG5100ex samplers can be used to check for possible hazards caused by lubricants. These measuring devices for measuring cooling lubricants are coupled with the GGP sampling system and can, for example, detect oil aerosols and measure cooling lubricants.
If you have any questions about measuring hazardous cooling lubricants or the measuring devices, our staff will be happy to help.
Cooling lubricant is a collective term for mixtures of substances that are used in metalworking for cooling and lubrication. It is often a multi-component mixture, as the basic substances – water and oil – alone do not have the desired effect. There are two main effects:
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.
