Dust dispersion monitoring for mining sites

Protect health, ensure product quality and improve cost efficiency

MONITOR WITH PRECISION

MONITOR WITH PRECISION

Dust monitoring is vital for protecting human health and conserving water at mining sites. Dust particulates pose health risks to workers and can also affect the quality of air, soil and water.

At the same time, severe weather can compromise the quality of processed minerals and risk the safe loading of minerals onto ships. This is why real-time monitoring of both dust dispersion and local weather conditions is vital to mining operations.  

Vaisala provides innovative weather and air quality sensors, wind lidars and observation insights that help you confidently ensure a safe environment for workers and communities, maintain product quality, and avoid wasting water.

Let’s talk about how to elevate your mining site's environmental management strategy.
