Aerosol and Dust Monitors

Why Aerosol and Dust Monitoring Matters in Public Safety

Particulate hazards often emerge without warning during incidents. Unknown powders, combustion byproducts, and re-suspended dust can complicate scene safety and investigative work. Real-time monitoring helps incident command understand conditions, maintain situational awareness, and document findings that support health, safety, and legal requirements.

Field-Ready Features for High-Stakes Operations

• Rapid Deployment: Quick warm-up helps teams move from arrival to live readings in minutes.
• Real-Time Insights: Instant particulate trends support dynamic decisions at hot, warm, and cold zones.
• Data Confidence: Time-stamped logging and configurable averaging intervals support defensible documentation.
• Rugged Construction: Durable enclosures, sealed interfaces, and long battery life suit harsh sites.
• Flexible Sampling: Size-selective options help characterize fine and coarse fractions, including PM1, PM2.5, and PM10.
• Simple Workflows: Intuitive interfaces, clear alarms, and wireless export streamline handoffs to command staff.

Use Cases Across Agencies

• HazMat and CBRN Response: Characterize airborne particulates near unknown substances to help guide PPE selection and decon steps.
• Wildfire and Burn Scenes: Track smoke levels to support rotation schedules and staging area placement.
• Clandestine Labs: Document particulate conditions alongside chemical sampling for a fuller scene picture.
• Corrections and Intake: Spot-check processing areas and workshops to help maintain acceptable air quality.
• Perimeter Assurance: Place instruments around scenes to support community communications and post-incident reports.
• Training and Exercises: Use live data to reinforce best practices for sampling, PPE, and evidence handling.

Designed for the Realities of Response

TSI instruments emphasize speed, clarity, and durability. Large displays, straightforward menus, and clear trend graphs reduce cognitive load when conditions change quickly. Long battery life and field-swappable accessories support extended operations. Wireless export helps teams share results with command, industrial hygiene partners, or public information officers without delaying scene turnover.

Data You Can Act On

Real-time particulate data helps teams answer key questions: Where are the highest concentrations? How are levels trending? Which areas are suitable for staging? When combined with air sampling pumps and lab analysis, the result is a robust, defensible record that supports after-action reviews and future planning.

Support for Protocols and Reporting

TSI monitors align with workflows common to HazMat, fire investigation, and law enforcement units. Log files, calibration records, and configuration summaries support documentation needs and help agencies align with internal protocols and applicable guidance from recognized bodies. Teams can export data for inclusion in incident management systems and chain-of-custody packages.
