Dust Detective
4
Introduction
With greater awareness of environmental
pollution from fine particulates and increasing
enforcement of COSHH and environmental
legislation, the demand for more area and
perimeter monitoring on a short to medium
term basis is on the increase. This need for
real-time particulate information is a
requirement in general industry, when looking
at Total Suspended Particulate (TSP), and at
inhalable and respirable dust levels as a health
issue.
CASELLA introduced the
“Dust Detective”
Static
Air Sampling enclosure for exactly this
application. This accessory provides a simple
solution for short to medium term fixed area
monitoring with the Microdust Pro and Apex2
sampling pumps and is designed specifically for
use in indoor applications, but some short-term outdoor perimeter samples can be undertaken with the unit.
The IP65 case is designed to accommodate a standard Microdust Pro as well as an Apex2 air sampling pump
which provides a precise inlet flow rate.
The Dust Detective has been designed as an accessory for existing Microdust Pro users as well as for potential
customers looking for a complete system when supplied complete as the Dust Detective. In this format, the
enclosure also doubles as the equipment carry case for the Microdust Pro.
