Dust Migration Monitoring has rapidly increased in demand due to hospital patient deaths and hospital acquired infections (HAI) from bacteria attached to dust that migrated from construction and maintenance work areas. The Joint Commission is now requiring stricter controls on construction enclosures near transplant patients and patients with immune-compromised conditions. Dust migration sampling and documentation is necessary to prove that construction areas are under negative pressure and construction dust is not migrating from the controlled area. We perform two (2) types of testing: continuous and spot testing.

Recently we completed a study in an Operating Room (OR) area where modifications were made to one OR with the adjacent ORs remaining in-use.  We monitored the air inside the adjacent OR suites to provide documentation that dust was not migrating from the renovation project into the active surgery suites.  This documentation can save a hospital large sums of money in the event of legal action from any of the active surgical suite patients over the duration of the renovation.

Another benefit is monitoring after a "fire", sometimes the fine particles spread by smoke can be airborne and spread to places that might not appear to be effected by the fire.  Recently, we performed this service in a chemical company that experienced a fire and a doctor's office that was next door to a restaruant fire.  For example, in the doctor's office we found elevated levels of microscopic dust in the air.  Even though the office looked clean, people were still coughing and experiencing problems.  Our monitoring equipment is so sensitive that we quickly identified the problem and proper cleaning was soon performed.
