Personal Aerosol Monitors

Understand Exposure Where It Happens

Personal aerosol monitors provide time-resolved particulate measurements close to the breathing zone, revealing exposure peaks during specific tasks, routes, or microenvironments. These insights support workplace programs, community studies, and education initiatives by connecting activities with the air people encounter throughout the day.

What Sets Them Apart

• Wearable Design: Lightweight form factors that clip or strap for comfort and mobility.
• Real-Time Logging: Capture peaks during tasks that stationary monitors might miss.
• User-Friendly Operation: Simple displays, alarms when configured, and guided workflows.
• Secure Data Handling: Export results for analysis, reporting, and archiving.
• Shift-Ready Power: Battery capacity suited for extended sampling periods.

Use Cases

• Industrial Hygiene: Compare exposure by task or area and guide mitigation strategies.
• Community Science: Equip volunteers to map neighborhood exposure patterns.
• Education and Training: Bring data to life in classrooms and field programs.
• Transportation and Delivery: Study exposures across routes and time windows.
• Events and Venues: Assess staff exposure during setup, peak activity, and teardown.

Deployment Considerations

• Study Design: Define sampling durations, activities of interest, and control periods.
• Wearing Position: Standardize placement to improve consistency across participants.
• Data Quality: Train users on start/stop protocols and check for obstructions.
• Privacy and Consent: Establish clear policies for data use and sharing.
• Mixed Methods: Combine personal monitors with area or fixed monitors for context.

Turning Insights Into Action

Personal exposure data can highlight high-contribution tasks, identify protective work practices, and inform scheduling changes. When combined with area monitoring and meteorological information, teams can build a comprehensive picture that supports program improvements and ongoing evaluation.
