Our Dust Monitoring Services
Southern Scientific provides a range of dust monitoring services, which includes Bergerhoff, PM10 and Atmospheric dust-fall monitoring. Our team of experts operate in-house from our ISO 17025 accredited laboratories providing analysis of stone, concrete, cement, sand and nutritional analysis to a diverse client base from small to large businesses in the public and private sectors.
Our dust monitoring services use state-of-the-art equipment and methods to measure the number of dust particles in the air, providing you with a quantitative measurement of the dust concentration.
Our experienced team will work with you to evaluate the potential health risks associated with dust exposure and to determine if dust control measures are needed to protect your workers and the community. We can also help you evaluate the effectiveness of dust control measures and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Who is Dust Monitoring Recommended For?
Dust monitoring is recommended for a wide range of individuals and organisations, including:
- Industrial facilities: Monitoring for dust is essential for industrial facilities such as mines, power plants, and manufacturing plants to ensure that workers and surrounding communities are not exposed to dangerous dust levels.
- Construction sites: It is essential for construction sites to evaluate the potential health risks associated with dust exposure and to determine if dust control measures are needed to protect workers and the surrounding community.
- Government agencies: Government agencies such as the EPA and the HSA use this service to monitor and regulate the levels of dust in the air and to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
- Environmental consultants: Environmental consultants use this service to evaluate the potential health risks associated with dust exposure and to determine if dust control measures are needed to protect workers and the surrounding community.
- Researchers: Researchers in fields such as environmental science and occupational health use dust monitoring to study the effects of dust exposure on human health and the environment.
Overall, dust monitoring is vital for anyone who wants to ensure the health and safety of workers and the surrounding community in areas where dust emissions are known or suspected to be high.

What's The Process For Dust Monitoring
Our dust monitoring process is designed to provide accurate and reliable information about the dust levels in your industrial environment or construction site. Our team of experts use state-of-the-art equipment and methods to measure the number of dust particles in the air, providing you with a quantitative measurement of the dust concentration.
Here’s how it works:
- Site assessment: We begin by thoroughly assessing your site to determine the potential sources of dust and the areas where dust emissions are likely to be highest.
- Sampling: Next, we use high-volume samplers, gravimetric samplers, and optical particle counters to collect air samples from various locations around your site. These samples are then analysed to determine the concentration of dust particles in the air.
- Data analysis: Our team of experts will then analyse the data and provide you with a detailed report that includes a summary of the findings, a comparison of the dust levels to regulatory standards, and recommendations for dust control measures.
- Implementation: We will work with you to implement dust control measures and to ensure that your site complies with regulatory standards.
- Ongoing monitoring: We understand that dust levels can change over time, so we offer ongoing monitoring services to ensure that the dust levels are kept under control and to adjust dust control measures as necessary.
