Trolex AIR X dust monitors can be configured to log particulate data sizes based on specific areas of interest (PM4.25 – inhalable, for example). During logging intervals, the unit captures size data for all particles that pass through the sensor, which can be reviewed at a later point in time and correlated with other size fractions as outlined in the relevant guidelines.

Advice on the relevant size fraction to be measured for a particular material hazardous to health may be obtained from EH40/2005 Workplace Exposure Limits and the Approved Code of Practice on the COSHH Regulations.

• Inhalable fraction approximates to the fraction of airborne material that enters the nose and mouth during breathing and is therefore available for deposition anywhere in the respiratory tract.
• Thoracic fraction is the fraction of inhaled airborne material penetrating beyond the larynx.
• Respirable fraction is the inhaled airborne material that penetrates to the lower gas exchange region of the lung.

Our take is that any particulate material that has the potential to be inhaled is bad news. Our technology gives you an early indication and warning of this, allowing you to do something about it.
