Intecso eco-post – Air quality is an occupational hazard for construction workers and with all the materials and processes that occur on a construction site, it is vital to monitor air quality. Poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK, as long-term exposure to air pollution can cause chronic conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as lung cancer, leading to reduced life expectancy.
The eco-post raises awareness of air quality and warns against any harmful contaminants. It measures then signals air quality results using a coloured LED lighting index system. The colours indicate the scale of particulate matter and contaminant concentrations ranging from low to extremely high.
The eco post is suitable for use within the construction industry both indoors and out measuring and visually showing the need for employees to be wearing protective PPE. The eco-post measures standard monitored particulates include PM2.5 & PM10, additional monitored options include sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3), PM1, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
