Mercury ChromAir Chemical Exposure Monitoring Badges
Mercury is used in many scientific instruments and meters, as well as in mercury arc lamps that produce ultraviolet rays. It is also present in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and antifouling paints. Mercury exposure may cause inflammation of the mouth and gums, kidney damage, muscle tremors, depression and nervousness.
ChromAir Mercury badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure dose to mercury. When exposed to mercury, a color change forms starting from the bottom cell, and then moving up each cell to the top cell. The highest cell with a color change indicates dose exposure level. ChromAir Mercury badges are a simple, cost-effective solution for mercury detection in the workplace.
Features:
- Immediate on-site results
- Easy-to-read color changing indicators
- Direct-read exposure data with immediate response times for short-term measurements
- Measures TWA exposure
- Patented design minimizes effects of humidity and velocity
- Light-weight and cost effective for personnel and area monitoring
