This is a portable particle counter or air quality particle counter PCE-PCO 2 used to monitor the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM) in the air. Designed to help assess indoor air quality (IAQ), this particle counter also measures air temperature, dew point, and relative humidity.
The particle counter is ideal for monitoring clean rooms, exposure to exhaust gases, smoke, and other harmful air pollutants, and concentration of combustible dust in the air such as agricultural dust, carbon dioxide, chemical dust, metal dust, plastic dust, and wood dust.
A variety of materials are explosives in powder form. Some examples include food (e.g., candy, sugar, spices, starch, flour, and animal feed), grains, tobacco, plastics, wood, paper, pulp, rubber, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, coal, and metals (e.g., . ., aluminum, chromium, iron, magnesium, and zinc). These materials are used in agriculture, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, furniture, textiles, fossil fuel power generation, recycling operations, metal fabrication and processing (including additive manufacturing and 3D printing), and many other industries and processes.
Because the PCE-PCO 2 particle counter monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters for HVAC system filtration and performance testing. Industrial hygienists and occupational safety professionals also rely on PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters when assessing workplace health and safety risks associated with hazardous and combustible dust.
