Industry-Leading Dust Monitoring Technologies
AQMS GROUP integrates multiple proven monitoring technologies to ensure accurate measurement across varying environmental and process conditions:
Light Scatter (Optical) Technology
Provides real-time detection of airborne particulate concentrations using advanced optical sensing. Ideal for construction and perimeter monitoring applications requiring rapid response.
E-BAM – Environmental Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor
The E-BAM (Environmental Beta Attenuation Mass Monitor) provides near real-time mass concentration measurements of particulate matter. This technology offers highly reliable data for regulatory compliance and long-term ambient air monitoring programs.
TEOM – Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance
The Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) directly measures particulate mass concentration by detecting frequency changes in a tapered element as particles accumulate. TEOM systems are widely recognised for continuous, high-accuracy aerosol mass monitoring in demanding industrial environments.

Dust Deposition Gauges: Accurate, AS 3580 Compliant Fallout Dust Measurement
AQMS Group supplies high-quality Dust Deposition Gauges on tripods designed to measure fallout dust in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.10.1:2016 and AS 2724.5 (Directional Gauges). Our gauges are built for long-term outdoor use and provide reliable, defensible data for environmental reporting, compliance, and site dust management.
How Dust Deposition Gauges Work
Dust deposition gauges collect particles and rainfall over a fixed period to measure total deposited solids, including:
- Insoluble solids
- Soluble solids
- Total fallout dust loading
Standard exposure periods:
- 30 days (April–October)
- 14 days (November–March)
Directional Dust Deposition Gauges
AQMS GROUP supplies Directional Dust Deposition Gauges (DDDG) designed for accurate dust fallout and directional dust monitoring at mining, industrial, construction, and infrastructure sites across Australia.
Our DDDG systems are engineered to align with Australian Standard AS 3580 requirements, supporting environmental compliance, impact assessment, and community reporting where understanding dust directionality is critical.
Laboratory Analysis
All samples can be processed through our partnered NATA-accredited laboratories, ensuring accurate, standard-compliant results suitable for regulatory reporting.
Our NATA-accredited laboratories for the sampling and analysis of dust deposition. We adhere to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3580.10.1:2016 for particulate matter analysis, which includes the Gravimetric Method for determining deposited matter.
Industries Using Dust Deposition Gauges
Mining, quarries, construction, waste facilities, manufacturing, ports, agriculture, and any site requiring fallout dust measurement under environmental approvals.
For Directional Dust Deposition Testing, we also follow the AS 2724.5-1987 standards.
- Road and construction sites
- Industrial operations
- Remediation works
- Agricultural areas
- Landfills in urban areas
- Mining operations
By using our dust deposition gauges and comprehensive sampling methods, AQMS Group helps you track and manage dust emissions to meet environmental standards and improve air quality.
Comprehensive Dust Monitoring Services from AQMS Group
We provide an end-to-end solution for dust deposition monitoring. From supplying and setting up dust deposition gauges to conducting thorough sampling and analysis, AQMS Group handles all aspects of your monitoring program. Our reports are detailed, accurate, and comply with all relevant Australian standards.
Additionally, we offer High Volume Air Sampling for larger-scale monitoring programs to further enhance dust control and environmental management strategies.
Beyond regulatory compliance, our dust monitors offer valuable insights into plant performance, assist in calculating emissions inventories, and support the compilation of environmental impact assessments. With AQMSGROUP, you can ensure not only compliance but also enhance operational efficiency and sustainability.
At AQMSGROUP we supply a range of economical, Nephelometer – forward light scattering based optical particle monitors for the monitoring and recording of PM2.5 and PM10 dust fractions, with the option for PM1, PM4.25 and TSP to meet your specific needs.
Designed to withstand various weather conditions, the monitor is housed in a weather resistant enclosure ideal for round the clock continuous outdoor monitoring.
Datalogging capacity at a minimum of 365 days at one-minute intervals with built-in log and forward capability to locally store the data in the event of a network disruption.
Integrating seamlessly with a web-based portal for remote data access, this secure data portal enables users to access monitoring logs, set customisable alerts, manage monitoring reports and more. The web-service application is accessible on both desktop PC and mobile smart devices.
Various power, mounting options, and additional accessories such as the AQMSGROUP Scientific Solar Battery Solution make the system a versatile choice for any dust monitoring application.
Key Features
TSP, PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 measurements (TSP comes standard, the others are options)
Instruments employs a unique combination of light extinction and light scatter to accurately analyse individual airborne particles. This allows the instrument to simultaneously measure all the PM size fractions with great accuracy.
Unlike fan-based samplers, our units have a proper pump, air filter, and accurate flow controller to generate a stable sample airflow. It also generates recirculated clean air to keep its optics away from dust and dirt contamination. Its proprietary long-life pump uses an ultrasonic mechanism and is virtually noiseless. The filter capsule is interchangeable and can be sent for material analysis of the collected dust.
To remove water droplets when sampling in damp or misty conditions, the dust monitor has a temperature-controlled heated inlet built in. The user can adjust the sample temperature set point. Or, if an ambient T & RH probe is fitted, the sample flow can be held at constant humidity.
MCERTS- approved for measurements
Ambient air monitoring, real time dust measuring of PM10, PM2.5, and TSP continuously in real time, tracks pollutant levels and trends. This ensures air quality assessment, regulatory compliance, and helps manage dust pollution in various environments.
Explore our air quality monitoring solutions, offering precise, real-time measurement of airborne pollutants. Our Air Quality Analyser reliably detects trace compounds, including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3).
Vibration monitoring is essential for ensuring safety, reliability, and performance across industrial, construction, and infrastructure settings. By continuously or periodically measuring vibrations, it detects potential issues early, preventing costly repairs, downtime, and accidents.
Environmental monitoring weather stations, using techniques such as wind speed and direction measurement, temperature monitoring, and ceilometer data, help meet compliance requirements by providing crucial weather and air quality data for Development Approvals and Licences to Operate.
Construction noise monitoring helps building and civil works projects meet council and EPA noise compliance requirements. Using a real-time noise monitor for construction sites or a calibrated decibel meter allows site managers to measure, record, and report site noise levels accurately. Continuous noise monitoring equipment provides live data and alerts to manage complaints, maintain approved noise limits, and avoid costly delays or penalties.
Australian standards HiVol particulate sampler enables remote, unattended sampling of PM2.5, PM10, or TSP, providing accurate data across urban air quality networks for effective monitoring and analysis of particulate pollution. AS/NZS 3580.9.3
