Air Pollutants: Breaking Things Down

Many people don’t realize that hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals are released into the air each day, often from seemingly everyday sources all around us that we take for granted. These can include, but are not limited to, things like paint, solvents, and even personal care and household cleaning products.

This doesn’t just have the potential to create an unsafe environment — it can have long-term negative ramifications on our health in ways we can’t afford to ignore. Over the last several decades, for example, pediatric asthma diagnosis rates have skyrocketed by nearly 73 percent in the United States. Indoor air quality and these types of potentially harmful pollutants are a major contributing factor to this.

It’s equally important to consider the types of fungi that lead to mold. With the right air sampling equipment, it’s possible to find evidence of mold in the air all around us even if there are no visible signs of a problem in the environment itself. That, in essence, is why these products are so important — they all professional products that collect the type of actionable information necessary to do something about these problems once and for all.

Why Air Sampling Supplies Matter

Whether you’re looking for something like our EMD Millipore RCS High Flow Touch Air Sampler or are just in need of some spare HYCON Agar Strips doesn’t actually matter — Weber Scientific has all of the air sampling testing equipment and supplies you need to make sure your important work gets done in the most efficient way possible.

In addition to the overall importance of indoor air quality from a health perspective, it’s also critical to think about things from the point of view of food and beverage environments, too. Contaminants in the air will absolutely impact food and other consumable items and can enter at any point during production. This is true from the time where you’re mixing ingredients all the way up through processing and even the packaging of the final product. Any impurities in the air itself could result in a change of color or even taste, which could reduce shelf life and ultimately harm a brand in a way they can’t afford.

Weber Scientific’s air sampling supplies are designed to help make sure that these are the types of issues you don’t have to worry about any longer, all so that you can get back to doing the most important thing of all: providing the highest quality products to your own customers with no exceptions.

Types of Products

Not only does Weber Scientific already offer a wide range of air sampling testing supplies and other equipment for you to choose from, depending on your needs, but we also work hard to continue to expand our already robust selection on a regular basis. One of our most popular products in that category is our Microbiologique Air Sampler, for example, which assists with quantitative measurement for viable microbes in the air. It draws a precise volume of air into the device itself, which contains culture media in Petri dishes. Any microorganisms present in those air samples embed themselves in the media for further analysis. It features adjustable sampling time, a rechargeable battery and more.

Equally impressive is our CAMTU Compressed Air Microbial Test Unit from Parker Balston, which is particularly useful for identifying sources of contamination in compressed air. This type of device is used in the food processing industry for tasks like mixing ingredients, transporting and propelling products through processing systems and more. It features a specially designed four-section Petri dish, with a lightweight and ergonomic design that is constructed from an easily sanitized durable polypropylene material.

These are just a few of the different types of products that we offer. As stated, we’re always working to expand our inventory on a regular basis, so be sure to check back often for new additions.
