Our Silica Monitoring Process

When it comes to our silica air sampling services, we are essentially capturing the contaminants from a known volume of air, measuring the amount of contaminant captured, and expressing it as a concentration.

We do this with the help of Silica Air Sampling, which helps us to understand the levels of RCS Silica within your breathing zone.

This means that silica air sampling requires three basic measurements:

1. The flow rate of air through the collection medium.

2. The sample run time.

3. The amount of contaminants collected.

Dust will often have many other contaminants attached to it, but air quality monitoring is often conducted to measure the concentration of particles within the air to assess if you need to invest in dust management or dust extraction systems.

How is Air Sampling Carried Out?

Put simply, air sampling is capturing the contaminants from a known volume of air, measuring the amount of contaminant captured, and expressing it as a concentration.

This means that air sample requires three basic measurements;

1. The flow rate of air through the collection medium.

2. The sample run time.

3. The amount of contaminant collected.

Dust or particulate air sampling measures the concentration of physical particles in the air.

Dust will often have many other contaminants attached to it but air monitoring is often conducted to measure the concentration of particles / particulates within the air.
