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.
When storing pollutants, a release of the substances is always possible and requires regular monitoring as part of occupational safety, such as measuring of harmful substances.
Precise measuring of harmful substances can be carried out by the GSA Messgerätebau for gases, for example. Our measuring device SG5100ex is recommended for this, as it is equipped with explosion protection.
