Swabs and Kits

As the largest organ in the human body, one of the main functions of the skin is to provide a protective barrier against harmful substances. Contact with hazardous substances whether directly or via a surface that has been contaminated with the hazardous substance can cause a range of health problems. Some of these are localised to the skin and can result in irritation, allergic responses, burns, allergic contact dermatitis. In addition to the effects of chemicals directly on skin, the skin can also act as a pathway for chemicals to be absorbed into the body and therefore affect other organs within the body.

What is Surface Sampling?

Surface and dermal samplers play an important part of any occupational health and safety program. Fast, easy to use and accurate swab test kits, wipes and sampling test kits are important tools to help identify work practises that may result in exposure, educating workers about prevention and reinforcing safe work practises.

Whether you are testing for metals such as lead or chromium or testing for methamphetamines or fungal spores, Air-Met Scientific offers a wide range of swab test kits and wipes to help you effectively identify surface or dermal hazards.
