Dust Monitoring

Dust monitoring allows industrial operators to measure airborne particulate levels in real time, providing clear insight into when, where, and why dust is generated. It is a vital tool for maintaining compliance, protecting workers, and preventing dust complaints before they escalate.

At ODS, dust monitoring is integrated with active dust suppression systems to deliver a proactive, data-driven approach to dust control.

Why Use Dust Monitoring?

Real-time dust monitoring helps you:

• Detect rising dust levels instantly

• Protect workers from harmful particulate exposure

• Demonstrate environmental and planning compliance

• Reduce complaints from neighbours and regulators

• Optimise dust suppression performance

Instead of reacting to problems, monitoring allows you to stay in control.

Real-Time Monitoring Systems

Modern dust monitoring systems continuously measure particulate concentrations such as PM10 and PM2.5. Data is accessible via online dashboards, automated reports, and alert systems, giving full visibility of site conditions at all times.

Systems can be configured to trigger alerts or activate dust suppression automatically when dust levels exceed set thresholds.

Integrated Monitoring & Suppression

When dust monitoring is linked to suppression:

• Dust is controlled only when needed

• Water and chemical use is reduced

• Suppression effectiveness is verified with live data

This closed-loop approach improves efficiency and reduces operating costs.

Typical Applications

Dust monitoring is commonly used in:

• Recycling and waste processing facilities

• Shredders, trommels, and conveyor systems

• Quarries and aggregates plants

• Construction and demolition sites

• Wastewater treatment facilities
