With over 60 years of experience in manufacturing industrial hygiene equipment and media, SKC offers reliable solutions for respirable dust sampling.

SKC Parallel Particle Impactors (PPIs) are miniature impaction-based samplers that offer the most precise match to ISO 7708 size-selective criteria and are specifically identified in OSHA and MSHA Final Silica Rules. Bonus advantage: PPIs eliminate tipping sample invalidation experienced with traditional cyclones.

Disposable PPIs are available preweighed and ready to use; no assembly or cleaning required. Their lightweight anti-static plastic design means greater worker acceptance, and they are safe for mine use.

Use PPI Samplers for easy, highly efficient sampling of silica and other respirable dusts in all mines.

Exciting research to tackle global plastic waste and help protect workers! NIOSH researchers are studying how to safely recycle plastics for use in 3-D printing. In partnership with external researchers, NIOSH is evaluating emissions from commonly used high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics. Preliminary results show HPDE can be recycled into usable 3-D printing filament seven times, with the number of potentially toxic particles released during filament production decreasing with each additional recycle. This could mean lower exposures for workers, and added value for plastics recycling.

New research from the Boston University School of Public Health highlights how affordable, easy-to-use color-changing wipes can help families quickly identify potential lead exposure in homes and vehicles—particularly through occupational take-home pathways.

The study found these wipes to be a reliable screening tool, delivering faster insights than traditional testing methods and enabling families to take protective action sooner.
