The Spectrex air sampler ideal for industrial hygiene.

Comments by an industrial hygiene supervisor in Texas "The Spectrex PAS-500 is a great tool for collecting both personal and area air samples. I have yet to have a worker complain about having to wear the pump. The workers appreciate the drastic reduction of weight and size when compared to the traditional low volume pumps. The best advantage of the PAS-500 is the clip that holds the pump ...

Why monitor dust in the workplace?

Almost any place of employment can present a potential threat to health and safety from airborne particulates and aerosols. It is important to note, however, that dust hazards are not necessarily visible to the human eye and that the finest particles can represent the greatest threat because of their ability to travel deepest into the lungs. Effective monitoring is therefore key to the ...
