Air Quality Dust Monitor
Continuous Particulate Monitor with Cloud-Based Reporting | Model EMS-DUST
Continuously monitor airborne dust levels with the Dustsens Particulate Monitor Model EMS-DUST from Larson Davis. Built to perform in demanding field conditions, Dustsens simplifies compliance with air quality standards, whether you're managing a construction site, industrial facility, or environmental study.
Available as a standalone system or as part of a fully integrated noise, dust, vibration, and weather monitoring solution, Dustsens provides continuous particulate measurement and cloud-based data visualization from anywhere.
Applications
Key Benefits
- Continuous, on-site measurement of PM10, PM4, PM2.5, and PM1
- Real-time data access and alerts via cloud platform
- MCERTS certified for trusted regulatory reporting
- Streamlined setup: Calibrated and ready to deploy
- Minimal maintenance with remote sensor swap-out option

View Your Dust Data Anywhere
Larson Davis Cloud Connect software offers 24/7 access to your monitoring data in a secure, centralized platform. Customize alerts by threshold level, view historical trends, export reports, and integrate additional data sources (including noise and weather) for comprehensive project oversight from your desktop or mobile device.
System Options & Deployment
Dustsens is available in both AC- and solar-powered configurations. Choose from standard dust monitoring or integrated systems that combine dust with noise, vibration, or weather tracking—ideal for remote or urban deployment. All systems ship fully calibrated and ready to use.
Calibration & Ongoing Accuracy
Dustsens systems are shipped fully calibrated for immediate use. For long-term deployments, Larson Davis offers a simple calibration update process. Rather than return the full system, we can send a pre-calibrated sensor head to swap in with minimal disruption—keeping your monitoring efforts seamless and accurate.

Health Risks from Airborne Dust
Particles smaller than 10 microns (PM10) are easily inhaled and can settle deep in the lungs. Prolonged exposure, especially to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) found in many industrial materials, can cause silicosis, and increase the risk of lung cancer. Dustsens helps you identify, track, and mitigate harmful exposure in real-time to protect worker health.
