Personal Dust and Aerosol Monitor
In environments where workers are exposed to dust and aerosols, detecting this exposure before it reaches hazardous levels and taking preventative measures is crucial. Therefore, real-time monitoring of dust and aerosol concentration using the light-scattering method is an ideal approach. Real-time measurement with the SidePak™ AM520 provides an excellent solution for scenarios requiring immediate corrective action to reduce exposure. Unlike traditional gravimetric measurement methods, dust and aerosol concentrations are monitored instantaneously during the measurement run, saving valuable time when implementing control measures in exposed environments. Immediate access to results data saves time in identifying issues and taking corrective actions, whilst ensuring accurate results are obtained. Real-time monitoring provides rapid verification to ensure you are on the right track towards reducing worker exposure and establishing compliance confidence before conducting subsequent reference gravimetric testing. Real-time tracking with the SidePak AM520 Dust Monitor can complete tasks in hours that would typically take weeks using conventional gravimetric sampling campaigns, saving Occupational Hygiene and Safety professionals significant time.
