AIR-AIDE Portable Area Dust Monitor Kit
AIR-AIDE Portable Area Dust Monitor Kit Overview
AIR-AIDE Portable Area Dust Monitor Kit (datalogging), for measuring lung damaging dust in indoor and ambient air, includes monitor (0.001 to 20 mg/m3), NiMH battery and charger/adapter (100-240 V), rotameter, impactor sleeve for TSP, DustComm Pro Software, cable, and instruction manual
Note: Interchangeable size-selective impactors are available: PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, or respirable (PM4.0).
EDC No. EDC AA-3500
The AIR-AIDE portable, direct-reading airborne particulate monitor surveys dust levels for indoor and ambient air monitoring. Use interchangeable size-selective impactors to sample for PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, or ISO respirable (4.0 μm). AIR-AIDE is ideal for use in indoor air quality investigations and compliance monitoring.
Applications
AIR-AIDE can be used for both indoor and ambient monitoring. It is an excellent assistant tool for OSHA/EPA/ASHRAE compliance methods.
