Truly wearable, real-time personal dust monitoring for every worker at risk from harmful respirable dust

18 Jul, 2024

The XD1+, from Trolex, is an incredibly compact, lightweight and affordable real-time dust monitor that is changing the way we fight respiratory diseases in the workplace. It has no filters, no pumps, no tubes, and no replaceable parts.

XD1+ provides instant alarms for fully customisable STEL and TWA measurements for PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25 and PM10. This robust device is a quarter of the size of other dust monitors on the market, with dimensions of 112 mm x 64 mm x 25 mm and weighs in at a lightweight 170 g. This truly wearable dust monitor features Bluetooth connectivity to view all the data live and in real time. Real-time data is transmitted straight to the user’s mobile device via Trolex’s BreatheMOBILE app. RFID tagging enables users to allocate their XD1+devices easily and efficiently.

Glyn Jones, Trolex’s CEO commented, “We believe that simple, accurate, real-time dust monitoring should be available to every worker who needs it, without exception.”
