If you work in a hospital, you know how important it is to minimise exposure to harmful substances at work. But how can you be sure that the measures taken are effective? Anaesthetic gases, formaldehyde, alcohols and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can pose invisible risks to your health. Arizo offers an innovative and user-friendly method to measure exposure accurately: our DIY exposure measurements.
With Arizo’s new measurement method, there is no need to bring in an external measurement expert on site. The prevention advisor can carry out these measurements completely independently. This offers numerous advantages:

Our DIY measurement offers significant added value in two critical environments:
1. In recovery rooms and operating theatres
Anaesthetic gases such as desflurane, sevoflurane, isoflurane and nitrous oxide are used in operating theatres and exhaled by patients in recovery. Without proper monitoring, these substances can build up and pose a health risk to staff. With our DIY measurement, you can easily detect the presence and concentration of these gases. Surgical smoke can also be detected using this method.
2. In laboratories
Laboratories often use substances such as formaldehyde, alcohols and solvents, which evaporate and can be harmful with prolonged exposure. Until recently, formaldehyde was difficult to measure, but thanks to our advanced DIY method the full composition of VOCs, including formaldehyde, can now be analysed.

Prolonged/chronic exposure to chemical substances usually causes irreversible damage such as:
Many of these symptoms accumulate over a long period (years) whereby the link with the causes often remains hidden (people attribute it to ageing). The consequences are however permanent and prevention is the only option!
