To understand the industry applications of SidePak AM520 personal exposure dust meter, let us first popularize the dust particle size range of various industries and various testing items.

Industrial Hygiene Aerosol/Dust Particle Size Ranges are:0.1 ? 100 µm

•Respirable/Total Dust, ≤100 µm, Windblown Dust

•Thoracic Dust, ≤10 µm, Cotton Dust

•Respirable Dust, ≤4 or 5 µm, Silica, Coal Dust and Welding Fumes

•Submicron, ≤0.8 µm, Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM)

•Ultrafine/Nano, ≤0.3 µm, Urban Pollution and Engineering Nanoparticles

The following are the industry applications of different particle size measurements:
