Dust Sampling – PM 2.5 & PM 10

$ 80

 

Test Code CEL/XXX
Sample Size Spot checks 30 minutes, 4 hours or 8 hours
Reportable Units µg/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter) or ppm
Turnaround Time 5-7 business days
Test Method BSEN / AS-NZS / EPA / ISO/ NIOSH
Method Description Air samples are collected using calibrated air sampling devices that capture PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, enabling accurate assessment of airborne particulate levels in the environment. Or, direct reading instruments are used.
Sample Retention   Not applicable (samples are typically analyzed upon collection)
Health Implications Prolonged exposure to elevated levels of PM 2.5 and PM 10 can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular problems, and other chronic health conditions. Routine dust sampling is crucial for maintaining a safe environment, particularly in industrial and urban areas.

This test measures the concentration of particulate matter (PM) in the air, specifically PM 2.5 and PM 10. Particulate matter of these sizes can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, potentially causing adverse health effects, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. Regular dust sampling helps ensure air quality standards are met, reducing risks associated with airborne particulates.
