Inhalable and Respirable Dust

Many environmental and occupational settings are known to have issues with airborne dust. Certain components of some dust may be hazardous to health and as such personal exposure to these substances in the occupational environment should be assessed. Dusts may be generated by an industrial process or other activities within a workplace or the wider environment. Airborne dust may be classsified as inhalable dust (nuisance dust) or respirable dust. 

CES is IANZ accredited to carry out gravimetric analysis of particulates collected on filters.  

With sampling information provided we can provide the concentration of a range of contaminants in the workplace, including inhalable dust, respirable dust, silica (quartz and crystobalite), metal dust, and wood dust (soft and hard wood). We also have a range of equipment available for hire.

If you have any questions please send us an email or use the enquiries form.
