Construction
Air quality monitoring in construction sites is a critical aspect of ensuring a safe and healthy working environment. It is not only a matter of legal compliance but also a fundamental responsibility of construction companies towards their employees and the surrounding communities.
Construction sites are often associated with a high level of air pollution due to the nature of the activities carried out. Dust, gases, and other pollutants can be released into the air, posing significant health risks to workers and nearby residents. Prolonged exposure to these pollutants can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other health complications. Therefore, monitoring air quality is essential to identify potential hazards, implement appropriate control measures, and ensure the health and safety of all stakeholders.
Several regulations govern air quality in construction sites. In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets permissible exposure limits (PELs) for various airborne contaminants. Similarly, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the emission of pollutants into the environment to protect public health and the environment. Non-compliance with these regulations can result in hefty fines and legal consequences. Therefore, it is crucial for construction companies to monitor air quality and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
Particles Plus® monitors are among the best tools available for air quality monitoring in construction sites. These instruments are known for their accuracy, reliability, and ease of use. They can measure a wide range of pollutants, including particle pollution, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), providing comprehensive data on air quality.
One of the key advantages of Particles Plus® instruments is their real-time monitoring capability. This allows for immediate detection of any harmful pollutants, enabling swift action to mitigate potential risks. Furthermore, these instruments are designed with user-friendly interfaces and robust data management features, making it easy for construction companies to track and report air quality data.
Particles Plus® instruments are built to withstand the harsh conditions of construction sites. They are durable and require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term air quality monitoring.
Particles Plus Instruments for Construction
Ambient Air Monitors
Particles Plus®Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and Optical Particle Counter (OPC) technologies have allowed us to virtually measure any particle size from 5 nm to 25 μm in any outdoor environment. These robust ambient air quality monitors provide reliable, accurate measurement of airborne contamination allowing for the detection of environmental and public health concerns. The first real-time monitor to provide 30 accurate particulate size channels at higher concentrations.
Handheld Particle Counters
Particles Plus® handheld particle counters display up to 6 user-selectable size channels as well as temperature and relative humidity. View data and generate ISO 14644-1, EU GMP Annex 1 or FS 209E reports on screen or via printer, USB key, real-time through its versatile output options or export to Particles Plus® data-download software. Particles Plus® counters can be controlled and monitored remotely via web browser. The handheld 8000 Series has a mass concentration mode that approximates density in μg/m3.
