Air Monitoring

ES Canada offers air quality monitoring equipment for outdoor environments, buildings, industrial sites and environmental research. The range brings together multipollutant stations, ozone measurement and calibration instruments, particulate and ultrafine particle monitors, and connected indoor sensors.

These product families answer different measurement questions. A gas concentration, a particulate mass concentration and an ultrafine particle number measurement describe different aspects of air quality; the required parameter should guide the choice of instrument.

Air monitoring product families

• Air quality monitoring systems: fixed, portable and connected equipment for ambient, industrial and distributed monitoring.
• Ozone monitors and calibration: gas-phase ozone analyzers and dedicated sources for compatible calibration applications.
• Particulate and ultrafine particle monitors: instruments addressing dust, particle number, particle mass, LDSA or black carbon, depending on the model.
• Indoor air quality monitors: connected sensors and dedicated indoor particle measurement instruments.

Which air quality parameter should you measure?

Identify the pollutant or particle parameter of interest and the purpose of the monitoring project. Sensor combinations vary by instrument: a multipollutant station does not necessarily measure every gas or particle parameter. Indoor gas indicators and dedicated ultrafine particle measurements should also be selected separately.

Typical applications

• Urban and ambient air quality monitoring
• Industrial perimeter and odour investigations
• Indoor environmental studies
• Dust, aerosol and atmospheric research

How to select the right equipment

Compare the target pollutants, measurement range, measurement method and sampling conditions. Review indoor or outdoor suitability, power, data logging, connectivity, calibration and maintenance. Distinguish temporary campaigns from continuous monitoring, and confirm that the available data match the intended analysis.
