With the touch of a button, the portable HAZ-DUST I real-time particulate monitor provides accurate and instantaneous data on airborne particle concentration calculation. Designed for industrial hygiene, indoor air quality, and hazardous materials investigations, HAZ-DUST I is a cost-effective PM screening tool for passive dust measurements.

The HAZ-DUST I Advantage

  • Saves time and money: No cassettes to purchase or weigh and no lab analysis needed

  • Immediate results: Turn on HAZ-DUST I and the reading is displayed

  • Flexibility: Hand-held for survey monitoring or add optional datalogger for continuous unattended monitoring

 

HAZ-DUST I Applications
HAZ-DUST I is ideal for industrial and remedial particulate air monitoring applications, such as:
  • Determining level of respiratory protection

  • Survey of workplace for OSHA/EPA compliance

  • Qualifying off site particulate migration

  • Surveying for PM-10 and TSP levels

  • Monitoring dust generation during drilling/excavation

  • Evaluating dust generation/suppression

  • Locating/identifying "hot spots"

  • Emergency Response and SARA Title III fugitive emissions compliance

  • OSHA and EPA personal and ambient particulate air sampling

Principle of Operation
HAZ-DUST I uses the principle of near-forward light scattering to measure dust concentration. Inside the instrument, an infrared light source is positioned at a 90-degree angle from a photodetector. As airborne particles enter the infrared beam, they scatter the light. The amount of light received by the photodetector is directly proportional to the aerosol concentration. No filter or gravimetric analysis is required. Air flow through the HAZ-DUST I is passive.

A Note about Calibration
The HAZ-DUST I is factory calibrated for respirable particulate mass (size range 0.1 to 50 µm) with a 50% cut-point of 4.0 µm (± 10% with SAE fine test dust), which falls under the ACGIH/ ISO/CEN criteria. Alternate calibration for thoracic particulate mass with a 10-µm cut-point is available as a special order.

Optional Datalogger
For maximum automation of data collection, use the HAZ-DUST I Dust Monitor with the optional datalogger to provide data storage, on-screen display of statistics, and a user-selectable alarm threshold. The datalogger includes DustComm Pro Software for PC that provides statistical analysis, graphs, and detailed reports that can be printed for record keeping.
