It provides many advantages because it can be purchased ready to use out of the box with no assembly required. The Zefon Disposable Inhalable Sampler (DIS) line is the only disposable version of the sampler on the market today. After the sample is collected, the sampler is sent off to a laboratory for analysis. As air is drawn in through the inhalable sampler, it passes through a media filter that’s designed to capture particulate. The sampling pump, which attaches to a worker’s belt, draws air in via a tube connected to an inhalable sampler that’s clipped to a shirt collar in close proximity to the worker’s breathing zone. Inhalable samplers are typically used as a system that includes the sampler, tubing, and a sampling pump. These devices are designed specifically to collect particles in the Inhalable particle size fraction range. That’s why, to accurately monitor the amount of particulate workers are breathing, inhalable samplers have been developed. It is defined as particles up to 100µm in diameter. The ACGIH criteria for the size fraction of particles that enter the nose and/or mouth is called the Inhalable fraction. One of the most common methods of entry of particulate into the human body is through respiration. For this reason, OSHA and other organizations establish guidelines and standards that aim to protect workers from unhealthy levels of airborne particulate. Construction and industrial workers are at risk of being exposed to various forms of dust, vapors, and gases that can adversely impact their health.
