Ambient Dust Monitoring
TES provides advanced ambient dust monitoring solutions to meet the strictest of air quality standards. Our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with demanding global frameworks, including Europe's ISO standards.
ABOUT
Ambient Dust Monitoring Equipment
Airborne particulate matter can have significant impacts on human health and the environment. Our dust monitoring solutions include the T640/X, DMP PM Monitor and Clarity Low Cost sensor, which provide accurate and detailed air quality measurements. TES also supplies the FMP Particulate Sampler, which measures the average level of dust in an environment, and the MABI Black Carbon Monitor that identifies the concentration and source of black carbon air pollution.
From construction and mining to manufacturing, transport and natural events, ambient dust monitoring plays a vital role in protecting communities and the environment. Common applications include:
- Ensuring compliance with licence conditions and environmental regulations
- Safeguarding worker and community health from harmful PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ exposure
- Providing accurate data for transparent reporting and community engagement
- Supporting proactive management of dust emissions and operational impacts
From a single site to a network of locations, TES delivers reliable dust monitoring solutions tailored to your industry, scale of operations and regulatory requirements.

Reference Samplers
Gravimetric reference samplers (high-volume and low-volume) collect particulate matter onto filters for laboratory analysis. They provide most accurate and standardised data and are optimally suited for regulation compliance, scientific research and long-term analysis of air quality trends.
Continuous Monitors
Instruments such as Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAMs) and Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) monitors provide real-time, continuous measurements of PM₁₀, PM₂.₅ and PM₁. The technology is widely used in compliance networks, industrial applications and environmental monitoring stations where there is a need for continuous reporting.
Optical Monitors
Optical instruments, including nephelometers and laser light-scattering monitors, provide rapid indicative results of particulate concentrations. They are suited for short-term tasks, construction/mining site dust control and community air monitoring.
Portable and Handheld Monitors
Lightweight battery-powered units allow for spot checking, surveys and rapid deployment in the field. Portable monitors have wide usage in emergency response measurements, workplace safety testing and short-term studies where mobility and flexibility are primary considerations.

FEATURED EQUIPMENT
TES DMP PM MONITOR
One of our most advanced dust monitoring solutions is the DMP PM Monitor (the latest version of the DMP 7000). This near-reference real-time particulate monitor simultaneously measures Total PM, PM₁₀, PM₄, PM₂.₅ and PM₁, providing particulate concentration in several size fractions. Designed and manufactured in Australia, the DMP is capable of performing in the most severe climates but still delivers laboratory-quality accuracy.
At the core of the system is a precision optical engine and high-quality algorithms, calibration and control processes for extremely accurate and reliable results every time. With the addition of a controlled inlet heater, water trap and high-end pump system, the DMP maintains data integrity when working under varying environmental conditions.
Practical and extremely versatile, the instrument combines the best qualities of a sampler and real-time monitor into one handy package. Simple to use on-site with its quick-deployment design, graphical user interface and easy-to-use keypad, the on-board 37 mm filter can be shipped to the lab for additional verification of data. Whether you need continuous dust data or filter-based sampling, the DMP PM Monitor delivers unmatched performance and reliability.
