Constant exposure to high levels of silica dust, a class 1 human carcinogen adversely affects a miner’s health and future life. Effects include silicosis, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, some of them irreversible. Decision makers need timely, reliable, and actionable information about silica dust to prevent overexposure of workers. They need quick turnaround times not constrained by the sampling site, even in remote areas.
PerkinElmer Silica Analyzer provides rapid, on-site and non-destructive quantification of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) deposited on PVC sampling filters. Read the mini brochure to learn more.
