Dust Detective - Static Air Sampling Enclosure Unit
Introduction
With increased awareness of environmental pollution from fine particulate in the workplace 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 CEL have introduced the “Dust Detective” Static Air Sampling (SAS) enclosure for
exactly this application. This accessory provides a simple solution to short to medium term fixed
area monitoring with the Microdust pro and Apex sampling pumps and is designed specifically for
use in indoor applications, but some short term outdoor perimeter samples can be undertaken
with the unit.
When monitoring perimeter dust conditions, the system should not be used under conditions of
high humidity, condensation, rain or fog. The APM 950 is a mains powered device better suited
for this application. (Contact sales department for further details).
The IP65 case is designed to accommodate a standard Microdust pro as well as an Apex or Apex
Lite air sampling pump which provides a precise inlet flow rate.
The Dust Detective SAS Unit 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.)
