Awareness of environmental health and air quality is increasing worldwide. Workplace dust in particular poses various health risks including respiratory problems and diseases for workers breathing dust over both short and long term. Classed as inhalable and respirable, depending on size and other physical particle characteristics, workplace dust affects the lungs in different ways. Inhalable

Workplace air sampling measures the exposure of workers to gases and dust enabling control measures to be subsequently implemented to help protect workers’ health. Breakthrough low impedance air sampling technology, developed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) working in partnership with the University of Hertfordshire, allows the production of notably compact, lightweight devices,

Access to real-time sampling and monitoring data from workplace dust exposure is a game changer for workers, employers and Occupational Hygienists alike. Practical dust sampling and monitoring from DustCanary’s new light-weight wearable devices help to mitigate the risks posed by dust across a range of work environments.
