Wood preservatives containing the hazardous substances PCP and lindane were mainly used in the 1960s and 1970s to protect roof beams and even wooden toys. These are highly volatile pollutants (SVOCs) that can continue to outgas indoors for decades and accumulate in house dust, causing health problems and even cancer.

Wood preservative test with GSA measuring devices PM4-2
A wood preservative test is advisable if a health hazard is suspected. The GSA measuring device PM4-2 is recommended for a wood preservative test.
The measuring device PM4-2 can provide meaningful measurements due to its relatively high air flow rate, even at locations with low levels of pollution.
After the wood preservative analysis, you can be sure whether there is a potential risk to health. Our measurement technicians will be happy to create a customized measurement concept for you.
