Within days of the Gulf Oil Spill, Gastec Detector Pumps and Tubes were being shipped overnight from Nextteq’s extensive refrigerated storage to areas along the Gulf Coast for air monitoring. Nextteq is fully stocked with Benzene, Carbon Diox- ide, Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulphur Dioxide, Toluene, Water Vapor and Xylene detector tubes, the most common detector tubes used to test for crude oil vapors and gases. With over 600 application choices, Gastec Detector Tubes deliver advanced gas analysis technology with more accurate and reliable results. Offering lower detection limits for many chemicals, Gastec tubes detect trace levels of contaminants that competitors cannot. To expedite analysis, most Gastec tubes require only 1 pump strokecompare this to competitors requiring up to 200 pump strokes..

process. Before work: STOKODERM (for oil and water skin exposure); STOKO EMULSION (for use under gloves and PPE);
STOKO UV SPF30 sunscreen. Cleaning: KRESTO (removes
toughest oily soils); SOLOPOL (solvent free and BioPreferredSM);
KRESTO KWIK WIPES (heavy duty textured
towels remove grease and oil); KRESTO
KREME (waterless heavy duty hand cleaner);
Condition: STOKOLAN (conditions chapped,
chafed, and irritated skin) and STOKO SKIN
RELIEF (conditioning and rejuvenating gel).
Sanitizers: for when water is not available kill

In response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Dust Trak™ Aerosol
Monitors and SidePak™ AM510 Personal Aerosol Monitors are
currently being mobilized and used to monitor and protect workers
conducting clean-up activities.
These activities include monitoring the burning of
oil slicks, the application of Corexit® oil spill
dispersant, oil skimming recovery operations, and
beachhead clean-up activities.
The monitors are continuous real-time 90° light-scattering laser photometers that
simultaneously measure size-segregated
mass fraction concentrations corresponding
to PM1, PM2.5, Respirable, PM10, and Total
PM size fractions. They measure aerosol
contaminants such as dust, smoke, fumes,
mists, fogs, etc.
Additionally, the PortaCount® Respirator Fit Testers are being used
to quantitatively fit test workers being employed by environmental
remediation companies to conduct clean-up activities.
