Particle counters.

Question. Has anyone used particle counters when ueing to assess the asbestos hazard?

I have found a good hand held gas analyzer to protect myself from various toxic gases but I am wondering about the utility of a particle counter.

Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time.

If they exist than they will cost a lot of money, When they test for asbestos they usually take samples to a lab, so it might not exist at all.

They do indeed exist and have been around for many decades but they have become much more advanced see image: http://www.uer.ca/...l.asp?picid=117991

I reckon those are pricey but older versions were just a simple vacuum pump and a fine filter screen to catch what ever particles youre after and these did require that you screen the collection screen back at the lab.

Try pricing an OBD II scanner used to diagnose error codes from the ECM on your car? $2800 for a device with only a fraction of the memory and processing horsepower of a Nintendo Gameboy.

actually, that pic is of an omniguard 4 pressure detector. it monitors air pressure in negative pressure containments and clean rooms. the old omni 3 runs about $1500US new.


here's a laser air particle meter

makes that $200 Gladius flashlight seem...affordable.
