ALVEOLAR PARTICLES AND CRYSTALLINE SILICA
The fine particles released at construction sites represent a potential threat to the health of workers and the well-being of nearby residents. With dimensions frequently smaller than 2.5 micrometers, these particles infiltrate the respiratory system, giving rise to substantial health risks. Ensuring a secure work environment is imperative to safeguard the health of workers and maintain the quality of the surrounding air.
A MOBILE DEVICE AIMED AT ENHANCING PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Co-developed with UBY
A precise and patented identification method: Using spectrophotometry and a patented algorithm, DUSTKAIR identifies fine particles, including the alveolar fraction (less than 5 micrometers) and the thoracic fraction (typically between 5 and 10 micrometers), targeting the most hazardous to health.
Real-time measurements: The portable DUSTKAIR technology enables constant monitoring, providing aninstantaneous assessment of workers’ exposure to fine particles. The ELLONASOFT platform analyzes data in real-time and generates automatic reports and instant alerts during exposure peaks (annual license included)
A portable system: Designed to be worn close to the respiratory pathways, DUSTKAIR consists of a capture module and a compact communication unit. The latter also contains a rechargeable battery with a 10-hour autonomy, ensuring complete coverage throughout a workday.
DUSTKAIR stands out with its robust and compact casing, ensuring the reliability of the device in rigorous working conditions:
Modular and precise structure: The device consists of two interlinked parts connected by a flexible cable. The capture module, positioned closest to the respiratory pathways, ensures precise data collection. Simultaneously, the communication unit, portable on the belt, houses the battery.
Resilient materials: Robust materials ensure an extended lifespan, resistant to the impacts inherent in construction and quarry environments.
