Applications

Isocyanates are used as a raw material to produce a number of products . Personal exposure can occur while the products made with isocyanates are being applied, or when the materials are removed by grinding or thermal degradation. Workers who are exposed to these compounds are at risk for respiratory disorders and asthma. The highly reactive nature of the isocyanate compounds and the low occupational exposure limits put high demands on both sampling and analytical techniques for monitoring of isocyanates in air. We investigated the performance of the LC-MS and LC-MS-MS methods in the analysis of isocyanates using the new ASSET™ EZ4-NCO Dry Sampler. We found that the analytical method can successfully reach the quantitation limit for most isocyanates of 5 ng/mL in the final sample when LC-MS-MS analysis was used and the quantitation limit of 10 ng/mL when LC-MS analysis was used. All 11 compounds were well-resolved chromatographically using a 15 cm Ascentis Express C18 column.

Nuclear and radiological risks are obviously a reality in today`s world, and anti-terrorism has become an absolute priority for homeland and border security. Alert and detection mechanisms are fundamental to current protection policies: we must be capable of preventing the illegal traffic of radioactive sources through border controls, and measuring gamma radiation in the environment if a malevolent act is committed. Saphymo meets homeland security and Emergency preparadness by proposing dosimeters and survey meters for both preventive and response purposes, enabling first responders to assess the character of radiological incidents. Border controls are performed using pedestrian and vehicle access control portals - Saphymo is a European leader in this field. Saphymo`s exhaustive range of reliable and high-performance products is fully adapted to the fight against CBRN terrorism and covers every conceivable situation.

Assessment of odour impacts from industrial facilities is increasingly required for planning and IPPC/EPR permitting.

CERC carries out odour impact assessments to investigate odour nuisance complaints, to predict the likely impact of new and existing facilities, and to evaluate the impact and cost effectiveness of various odour control strategies.

In order to carry out a robust assessment of odour impact, whether to evaluate a proposed facility or get to grips with an odour nuisance problem, it is important to establish a clear link between the operation of the plant, the resulting emissions and the odour impact.

Faced with soaring utility costs and the high risk of infection spread, senior care laundry facilities can benefit greatly with an EcoTex ozone system. With an EcoTex System in place, a laundry room can achieve superior disinfection, reducing energy consumption, increasing wash quality, extending linen life, and be environmentally green. An EcoTex Laundry System starts saving money and improving wash quality the moment it’s installed. Much of the savings stems from reducing wash temperatures from 180o F to 50o F and cutting a laundry’s operation from eight hours to six hours per day.

Carbon dioxide has a wide range of commercial uses, from the production of lasers to the carbonation of soft drinks. This gas has become a topic of interest because it is classified among the greenhouse gases, gases which impact the Earth's environment when they reach high concentrations in the atmosphere. We propose solutions for medical diagnostics (out-breath control) and for ecological monitoring (control of carbon dioxide, exhaust gases in the atmosphere).
