It’s not just dust

Exposure to dust in the workplace is a major health hazard, resulting in a wide range of issues - from the relatively minor such as itchy eyes and sore throats, to the potentially fatal such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer and heart disease. Over ½ million deaths a year are attributed to particulate inhalation in the workplace globally, making it the single biggest threat to human health in the working environment.

Trolex’s Air X range of real-time monitors represent a technological leap forward in the fight to prevent these diseases and to provide businesses with the ability to respond to and manage the dust environment in their operation.

The intelligent deployment of dust suppression collateral, rapid identification of process inefficiencies, and the ability to advise staff when and where to utilise personal protective equipment, means that the Air X range of real-time particulate monitors go far beyond the protection of human health - making this technology an essential component of an efficient, low-cost, fast-paced industrial process operation.

Using a unique algorithm and lab-grade precision laser technology, our real-time particulate monitoring systems can measure particulate matter (PM) sizes ranging from 0.35μm – 40μm (including PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.25, PM10 and TSP) and capture 10,000 samples every second. Our systems are up to five times more accurate than the industry standard model and provide you with the data necessary to protect your people, processes and the environment.
