Ambient Particulate Monitoring

Ensure safe, clean air free of harmful particulate matter

Continuously and reliably monitor particulates in ambient air using advanced air sampling technology. Measure critical regulatory parameters including PM-10 and PM-2.5 mass concentration as it exists in ambient air. Measuring mass concentrations utilizing one of our leading technologies: Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), Beta Attenuation and Light Scattering Nephelometry.


Thermo Scientific continuous air particulate monitoring systems and manual ambient air particulate sampling instruments use advanced technology to monitor particulates in ambient air.

Our line of Thermo Scientific Partisol monitors form the backbone of the U.S. EPA national sampling network, and are being implemented by air monitoring organizations worldwide for the sampling of PM-2.5, PM-10, PM-Coarse and TSP particulate matter. Routinely utilized in a variety of ambient conditions including extreme climates, these Partisol samplers provide a convenient and flexible means of collecting high quality samples of ambient particulate as well as atmospheric species in gaseous and particulate form for laboratory analysis. Non dichotomous samplers can be paired to measure PM Coarse.

The future of air monitoring is helping companies, communities, and local citizens receive clear indications of the quality of the air around us. Lower in cost, more compact and broader in reach, sensor based monitoring solutions are helping communities and companies collect air quality data when and where they need it.

Obtain real-time concentrations of airborne priority pollutants with the new Thermo Scientific GM-5000 Air Quality Monitor. The unit incorporates laser based particle counting for particulate measurement and electrochemical sensing and photoionization detector for gas measurement and provides unattended monitoring with continuous real-time data transmission to a central location and/or internal memory.
