Atec TSI-8525 - Manual

Ultrafine particles are defined as having a diameter less than 0.1 μm
(or 100 nm). Engineered nanoparticles (nanomaterials) are a subset of
ultrafine particles with dimensions from 1 to 100 nm. Nanomaterials
are produced and used for industrial and high-tech applications, while
ultrafine particles are the byproducts of combustion and other chemical
reactions. Unfortunately, the occupational health risks associated with
manufacturing and using nanomaterials are not clearly understood. As
a result, a need has arisen to assess workplace conditions. Using TSI’s
proven technology, the P-Trak gives direct, real-time measurement of
workplace ultrafine particulate levels.
The P-Trak UPC also locates obvious pollutant sources such as boilers,
furnaces, and vehicles, and it also detects the not-so-obvious sources
such as photocopy machines and printers. Use this instrument to detect
the migration of toxic exhaust gases, malfunctioning office equipment,
pinhole gasket leaks in boilers and a wide variety of other problems.

P-TRAK® ULTRAFINE
PARTICLE COUNTER
MODEL 8525
The TSI’s P-Trak® Ultrafine Particle Counter (UPC) 8525 is an
ideal instrument for measuring workplace ultrafine particulate levels,
as well as helping eliminate indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. This
portable instrument detects and counts ultrafine particles (smaller
than one micrometer) that often accompany or signal the presence
of a pollutant that is the root cause of complaints.
