Indoor Air Quality Monitors: An Early Warning System for Industrial & Commercial Pollutants

Indoor air quality monitors or laser particle counters are often purchased by home owners, those with allergies, to detect particles floating in the air, letting them know when air purifiers, filters aren’t working correctly, ducts need cleaning—or if there’s been a new source of particle pollution that has entered their home or room.
 
On an industrial or commercial level, where dangerous or infectious particles might become airborne, indoor air quality monitors are now being purchased not only for monitoring particle concentrations in the workplace—but also as an early warning system that literally saves lives.
 
Businesses like laboratories or other highly-controlled confined space environments, for example, cannot afford to have bacterial or other dangerous particles floating in the air and often have commercial air filtration systems in place to prevent this. If there is a leak, however, or the air cleaner system isn’t working properly, you generally wouldn’t know until someone’s health is affected. With a portable indoor air quality monitor or laser particle counter running, however, the particle counter can tell you as soon as any particles of a particular size have become airborne.
 
The Dylos DC 1100 PRO models, for example, are calibrated to let you see actual particle counts for at least two particles size ranges—normal dust size (fairly large) and those around 0.5 microns—smaller more dangerous particles. With that knowledge, you can immediately take action to evaluate what is in the air and take steps to remove the hazard, if there is one. This can greatly help you avoid OSHA complaints and fines, as well. And the Dylos DC 1100 PRO PC models have a USB port so you can connect to a computer and see the particle counts in graph form.
 
For patients with compromised immune systems or for ‘clean rooms’ in hospitals where all pollutants must be removed, an air monitor system can let you know when particles are present that should not be there. Surgical areas should always be tested for airborne particles to minimize the chance of post-op infections. With a portable laser particle counter, it’s easy to do. Just plug it in, leave it running and check the numbers before the operation. If there are particles, turn the room air cleaner on or up to clean the air prior to the operation. Simple.
 
Indoor air monitors can also help you identify the source of the pollution. If you think it’s coming from the duct work, place the air monitor in front of the vent and in about 6 seconds, you’ll know exactly how many particles are being blown out.
 
Installing a new industrial or commercial air cleaner system in a hospital, lab, manufacturing plant, or any other industrial or commercial business and hoping to be OSHA compliant? Test the ambient air and record the number of particles in the air before and after installation. This will tell you clearly how well that system is working and whether it’s worth the money—or not.
 
We do highly recommend Dylos DC 1100 indoor air monitors for performance, durability, and low-cost. And they are quite portable so you can take them with you to any area where you would like to test the air.
