Real-time data monitoring through a robust network of industrial dust monitors helps in dust suppression. Since the dust monitoring systems continuously monitor dust concentration (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100), the system red flags the breach in National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The red flags turn on the automated dust suppressors integrated with the monitoring device. As soon as the ambient air is within the standards, the suppression system stops automatically. Dust suppressors such as mist cannons, water sprinklers, etc. can be easily automated. It takes timely actions and preserves resources and energy. It significantly reduces outdoor dust pollution which poses a threat to the workers and the people living in nearby areas. The exposure limits prescribed by OSHA is used to set the threshold limits. One can design an efficient automated system using low-cost sensor-based industrial dust monitors. The monitoring data also helps in better process control, fuel conservation, and efficient fuel consumption. The system helps the industry achieve its committed goals to curb dust pollution. Additionally, you can find more on data-driven environmental automation in OIZOM’s Whitepaper. OIZOM’s industrial dust monitoring device Dustroid measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and PM100 along with the weather data to study dust dispersion. Dustroid can also serve as an independent PM10 monitor and PM2.5 monitor. More on the importance of particulate monitoring can be found here. OIZOM’s devices provide high-quality monitoring data at an economical cost. Further data integration with various platforms results in the generation of dynamic pollution maps. Moreover, OIZOM’s industrial dust monitors integrated with automated dust suppression systems at thermal power plants, mechanical workshops, construction and mining sites, etc. provide a holistic solution.

2. Industries prove to be a lifeline for global
concerns like population explosion,
unemployment, and poverty.
According to the World Bank database
industries account for 23.083% of the
total employment around the world.
Global issues like climate change and
global warming are worsening due to
industrial emissions

6. REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE
Industrial dust monitors help in quantifying the
dust concentration in the industries and the
surrounding receptors.
Monitoring results help in:
- Environmental Impact Assessment. (EIA)
- Environmental Management Plan. (EMP)
- Environmental Clearance. (EC)
- Semi-annual compliance reports.
- Alerts and Awareness.
The data also acts as base data to compare the air
particulate concentration at different stages of
processes.
Dispersion analysis can be carried out for better
understanding of dust transport.

7. DUSTROIDTM
The monitoring devices like the Oizom’s low-
cost sensor DustroidTM (with variants - Light,
Smart, and Pro) are stationed at the
construction sites.
DustroidTM measures the concentration of
various particulate matter PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and
PM100 in the ambient air which can be further
integrated with a weather station.

9. Various national and international agreements
also mandate to increase the number of PM
monitors.
The SDG3 of healthy lives and wellbeing and
SDG11 of sustainable cities mandates to increase
the number of PM monitors around the world.
Similarly in India, the National Air Quality
Monitoring Programme (NAMP) identified the
limitation of inadequate PM monitoring systems
and mandates to expand PM monitoring
network.
