This ultra fine particle counter is the ideal instrument for measuring workplace ultrafine particulate levels and to eliminate the indoor air quality problems. In addition to this, the portable instrument can detect the ultrafine particles that are smaller than 1 micrometer, which often accompanies or signals the present of a pollutant. The definition of ultrasound particles refers to those with a diameter that is less than 100 nm.
The nanoparticles, on the other hand, are a subset of the ultrafine particles, whose dimensions ranges from 1 to 100 nm. The nanomaterials are used and produced in high tech applications, especially in the case where ultrafine particles are the products of chemical reactions and combustion. The occupational health risks that are associated with manufacturing and using nanomaterials are often not clearly understood. As a result of this, the need to assess workplace conditions has arised.
