Dust monitoring is the process of measuring and analyzing airborne particulate matter (PM) in industrial environments. These particles—often generated by construction, mining, manufacturing, or processing activities—can pose serious risks to both human health and environmental safety if not properly managed. Industrial sites are particularly prone to...
Noise pollution, often overlooked, is a growing environmental concern that significantly affects human health. From busy urban streets to constant industrial operations, excessive noise disrupts more than just peace—it impacts our physical and mental well-being. Prolonged exposure to high noise levels can lead to serious health...
In today's industrial and urban environments, noise pollution is a growing concern. Excessive noise not only affects public health but also disrupts local ecosystems. To manage this, governments and environmental agencies have set strict noise regulations. One of the most effective tools for compliance is...
Noise and Illumination Assessments Noise and illumination assessments play a vital role in promoting a safe and healthy workplace. Noise assessments involve measuring sound levels and identifying potential hazards to ensure that employees are not subjected to excessive noise, which could result in hearing damage. The purpose of...
Gravimetric Sampling This involves sampling for respirable dust particles (particles with a d50 aerodynamic diameter of 7 µm or 7 micron). These particle sizes are proportionally not kept out by the nasal system and pass into the lungs. Any sharp particles and or particles that go in and...
PM 10 Sampling The focus on PM10 particulate (particles with a d50 aerodynamic diameter of 10 micron) has increased internationally and in South Africa. New legislation now requires dust generating activities to monitor for PM10 if the fallout dust levels exceed the respective residential or non-residential limit, of 600 and 1200mg/m2/day respectively. Fallout dust monitoring equipment ...
Isokinetic Sampling This involves the determination of the exact dust or fume load in a stack, or dust plant. This is used to determine efficiencies of dust plants, calibrate dust/fume measuring devices and determine stack emissions. For more information, download the PDF Fallout dust monitoring equipment ...
Occupational & Hygiene Audits Legally, concerns that fall under the Department of Minerals and Energy in South Africa are required to have audits done. These audits include the following investigations among others: Noise Light or Illuminations Safety and Hygiene Respirable dust Ventilation Fallout dust monitoring equipment ...
Dust Control Design Dust control or dust extraction systems are specifically designed to manage and contain fine dust particles that are often generated during material handling or conveyance processes. These systems play a crucial role in environments where materials are moved in a manner that causes the...
