Dust monitoring
Source-differentiated dust monitoring (coarse and fine dust) and determination of dust precipitation (LRV limits) at:
- urban, industrial and rural sites
- quarries and gravel pits
- construction sites/tunnels
By means of passive (Sigma-2 and Bergerhoff) or active PM10/PM2.5 sampling.
Abrasion particles from traffic
Characterization and quantification of non-exhaust particles in air and water samples:
- tire wear (microplastic, micro-rubber)
- brake wear
- road wear
Analysis of fine dust
Active and passive measurements:
- Analysis of PM2.5 and PM10 (gravimetry)
- PM2.5 and PM10 characterization with automated SEM/EDX
- EC/OC, water soluble ions and element composition
Source apportionment of dust
Development of measurement concepts:
- who or what has caused the particle pollution?
- what is the contribution of a specific source?
- solutions for dust abatement/control
Examples:
1. Monitoring of non-exhaust abrasion particles
Yearly dust monitoring including differentiation of abrasion particles (tire wear, brake wear, road wear)
