Range of Air Quality Monitoring Equipment

DustScanAQ installs, operates and manages a wide range of air quality monitoring equipment.

We have experience with big data analysis in management, quality control, interpretation, data visualisation and reporting , from a range of simple desktop based solutions to high level cloud based data driven technologies.

Through continuous environmental monitoring, we assist clients in developing bespoke data driven environmental management and alert systems to improve site compliance.

The equipment we use ranges from simple passive diffusion tube sampling, through short term pumped filter-reference sampling, to sophisticated automatic air quality stations for continuous air quality monitoring.

DustScan Cloud

The DustScan Cloud is an innovative low-cost continuous dust and air quality monitor, reporting in real-time. It uses an Optical Particle Counter to measure PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, deriving particulate mass concentration in microgrammes per cubic metre of air (µg/m3), and an algorithm corrects for temperature and humidity.

It sends data to the cloud (internet) and is designed for low electricity consumption so that it can be run off-grid using solar panels. Data can be viewed and managed via an internet interface, or sent to other data management software. It is small, light and easy to use, with simple functionality.

It is designed specifically to meet the criteria for fence-line PM10 monitoring set out in the:

HS2 Code of Construction Practice Greater London Authority’s Supplementary Planning Guidance ‘The Control of Dust and Emissions during Construction and Demolition’
Institute of Air Quality Management ‘Guidance on Monitoring in the Vicinity of Demolition and Construction Sites’

The DustScan Cloud is available in two configurations; the Cloud and Cloud+. Both offer the same particulate matter monitoring, but the Cloud+ is a slightly larger unit that has the option of multiple gas sensors and a longer battery life. It also has MCERTS accreditation.

Both the Cloud and Cloud+ also measure particle numbers in 24 size bins, from 0.3 µm to 30 µm, which are available to be used for further source characterisation.
