Measures air temperature, dew point and relative humidity
The PCE PCO 2 Partical Counter Air Sampler is used to monitor
particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air. It’s designed to aid
in indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments, and can also measure air
temperature, dew point & relative humidity.
This
particle counter is ideal for monitoring clean rooms, exposure to
exhaust, smoke and other harmful air pollutants, and levels of airborne
combustible dust such as agricultural dust, carbonaceous dust, chemical
dust, metal dust, plastic dust and wood dust.
A
variety of materials are explosive / flammable in dust form. Some
examples include: food (e.g., candy, sugar, spice, starch, flour and
feed), grain, tobacco, plastics, wood, paper, pulp, rubber, pesticides,
pharmaceuticals, dyes, coal and metals (e.g., aluminum, chromium, iron,
magnesium and zinc). These materials are used in agriculture, chemical
manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, furniture, textiles, fossil
fuel power generation, recycling operations, metal working and
processing (including additive manufacturing and 3D printing) and many
other industries and processes.
In
addition to being a combustion hazard, certain kinds of dust can be a
health hazard. Exposure (such as skin contact, eye contact and
inhalation) can be linked to sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose, itchy or
red eyes, headaches, fatigue, fever, cough, shortness of breath,
dermatitis, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia (e.g., Legionnaires’ disease
and hypersensitivity pneumonitis) and cancer.
When
inhaled, PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles can settle deep into the lungs and
result in damaging health effects. Since the PCE-PCO 2 particle counter
monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical
health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters
for HVAC system performance and filtration audits. In addition,
industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals rely on PM 2.5
and PM 10 particle counters when evaluating occupational health and
safety risks related to hazardous and combustible dust.
