Determination of Total and Respirable Dust

Determination of Total and Respirable Dust

Within the scope of Occupational Health and Safety, many measures should be taken to protect the health of employees in working environments. In order to determine the precautions to be taken, many measurements are made depending on the working conditions. These measurements are made to protect employee health in the long term and to prevent occupational diseases that may occur.

One of the measurements carried out within the scope of OHS is “Determination of Total and Respirable Dust”. Respirable dust measurement is carried out in working environments, taking into account all relevant standards and regulations, especially the 'Dust Fighting Regulation'.

Within the scope of Occupational Hygiene, dusts are divided into three as Inhalable, Thoracic and Respirable.
