Precision Particulate Matter Monitors for Reliable Air Quality Data

High-performance PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 monitors designed for industrial-grade environmental monitoring across North America.

Reliable PM Measurement for Regulatory Confidence

Particulate Matter (PM) Monitors are a critical component of air quality monitoring systems, providing real-time insights into airborne particles that impact public health, workplace safety, and environmental quality. These instruments measure fine particulates across different size ranges—including PM1, PM2.5, and PM10—allowing organizations to assess pollution sources, comply with regulations, and optimize mitigation strategies.

Air Quality Instruments supports industries across North America with a wide selection of PM monitoring solutions tailored for B2B deployment. With expertise in delivering smart, scalable systems, we offer precision technologies backed by robust data management tools and customer-centric support. We help clients meet operational and regulatory requirements through integrated, high-performance platforms built for long-term reliability.

Core Pollutant Measurement Instruments

Core Pollutant Measurement Instruments are advanced monitoring tools specifically engineered to detect, quantify, and analyze the primary pollutants responsible for deteriorating air quality and public health. These instruments are essential components of any modern environmental monitoring system, providing real-time, high-accuracy data that supports regulatory compliance, industrial process optimization, and public safety initiatives

Core Components

Laser Scattering Sensors for high-sensitivity real-time PM detection. Powered by Optical & Imaging Sensors, these components deliver accurate, on-the-spot particulate measurements in both portable and fixed monitors.
Gravimetric Samplers for regulatory compliance and calibration. Supported by Environmental & Agriculture Sensors, these samplers ensure standardized, traceable sampling in ambient air quality monitoring.
Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAM) for continuous air quality data. Integrated with NB-IoT End Devices, they offer stable data transmission for long-duration, unattended outdoor operations.
TEOM (Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance) instruments for precise particulate mass measurement. Combined with LoRaWAN End Devices, they enable low-power, long-range connectivity in industrial air quality applications.
Rugged Enclosures rated IP65/IP67 for industrial and outdoor deployments. Outfitted with Zigbee Accessories, these enclosures enhance the protection and performance of sensor nodes in mesh-based smart city networks.

Case Studies

Construction Industry, Texas

A major construction company in Texas integrated Air Quality Instruments’ PM2.5 monitors at multiple sites across Houston. The monitors delivered real-time dust concentration data to their cloud-based dashboard, helping the team proactively manage environmental compliance, protect worker safety, and reduce fines by 47% over one year.

Public Infrastructure, New York

In partnership with a Canadian environmental consultancy, a smart city pilot in Toronto implemented PM1/PM2.5 sensors in school zones to track pollutant exposure during peak traffic hours. Results from the pilot helped inform local policies, leading to adjustments in traffic flow and school ventilation practices.
