Understanding Dust Fallout Monitoring

What is Dust Fallout Monitoring?

Dust fall monitoring involves the collection and analysis of particulate matter settling on surfaces in a given area. This process helps in assessing the impact of industrial activities on air quality and environmental health.

 

Importance of Dust Fallout Monitoring

  1. Environmental Compliance: Regulatory bodies in the mentioned countries often require industries to monitor and control dust emissions to comply with environmental standards.
Health and Safety: Dust fall monitoring contributes to the identification and mitigation of potential health risks associated with airborne particulate matter.

DUST FALLOUT MONITORING

Dust is generated when fine particles are taken up into the atmosphere by wind-action, disturbance of fine materials, or through the release of particulate-rich gaseous emissions from power plants, industries, and vehicles.

Industries that contribute to dust pollution are the construction and infrastructure industries, agriculture industries, waste and recycling industries, premixed concrete industries, as well as the mining and quarrying industries.

Dust can also be formed from gaseous chemical reactions e.g., reactions of sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen.

Air pollution from dust particles has detrimental impacts on the health and well-being of surrounding communities.

To reduce the risk to human health and environmental degradation, dust deposition must be monitored, measured, and mitigated.

Dust fallout monitoring provides an indication of the main areas of dust generation and can be conducted for both human health and environmental purposes.

At Skyside we test dust for the following harmful pollutants:

  • Nitrogen oxides (NO2 and NO3)
  • Metals in dust
  • Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
  • Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM 2.5)

At Skyside, we understand Dust Fallout Monitoring and know that every site has its own needs.

Our expert field teams use innovative techniques to assess, collect, and analyse every sample.

To ensure you credible and reliable air quality data, we became the first emissions testing company in South Africa to receive SANAS accreditation for ISO17025:2005 (T0701) and the first company to be accredited for Dust Fallout Monitoring.

With our vast knowledge and expertise, we can offer you:

  • A comprehensive evaluation of your site to determine where the dust fallout monitoring system should be positioned
  • Provision of single buckets or directional buckets and equipment, according to your operational needs
  • Short-term and long-term monitoring services
  • Detailed monthly reports that comply with the Air Quality Legislation
  • Ongoing communication with our project managers that ensure your monitoring networks function smoothly
