Fugitive dust monitoring with TSI’s DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor

As we move into the drier summer months the risk of fugitive dust emissions leaving a construction site boundary greatly increases. Developers can try to minimise their effect on local air quality by covering stockpiles, damping down unpaved areas and keeping dust generating activities to a minimum. Periodic spot checks with a handheld real-time dust monitor can help construction site staff quickly verify that their controls are working effectively. With TSI’s ergonomically designed handheld DustTrak™ monitor you can quickly and easily take real-time measurements of dust particulate sizes PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10 and TSP (Total Suspended Particulate). The device is simple to use and operate thanks to its colour touchscreen display, long battery life and lightweight design. Monitoring data can easily be downloaded into TSI’s TrakPro™ software, where reports can be generated and shared with colleagues and stakeholders.

TSI’s handheld DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor is a multi-channel, data-logging, laser photometer for real-time aerosol readings. Only the DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor can simultaneously measure both mass and size fraction. It is suitable for clean office settings as well as harsh industrial workplaces, construction and environmental sites, and other outdoor applications. The DustTrak™ DRX Aerosol Monitor measures aerosol contaminants such as dust, smoke, fumes and mists. Find out more by visiting the TSI website.
