High-Precision PM Sensors for Air Quality & Compliance
Advanced particulate detection tailored for IT, telecom, and research environments.
Overview
Accurate detection of airborne particulate matter is essential for maintaining clean, compliant, and safe environments in high-tech and IT-driven industries. Particulate Matter (PM) sensors generate real-time data on airborne pollutants such as dust, smoke, pollen, and industrial emissions—measuring concentrations of PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 with high precision. This data enables facilities to mitigate contamination risks, protect sensitive equipment, and uphold occupational health standards. Across North America, B2B operations rely on these sensors to support cleanroom certifications, optimize HVAC performance, and maintain air quality in data centers, labs, and electronics manufacturing environments. Designed for seamless integration with environmental monitoring systems, PM sensors offer flexible deployment and long-term reliability. Engineered for accuracy and backed by technical expertise, they help businesses implement smarter air quality strategies and build cleaner, more resilient facilities. As regulatory demands and performance expectations rise, PM monitoring becomes a foundational element of operational excellence in critical environments.

Case Studies
U.S. Electronics Manufacturer Improves Yield Rates
In Austin, TX, a microelectronics firm used Enviro Test for IT’s PM sensors to reduce particulate contamination during circuit board assembly. After correlating PM2.5 spikes with defects, they adjusted filtration cycles based on real-time data—cutting rejection rates by 18% within three months.
U.S. Telecom Provider Enhances Shelter Reliability
A telecom company operating remote sites in Nevada installed our PM sensors in its outdoor relay shelters. The data revealed windborne dust accumulation during seasonal weather shifts, prompting timely filter maintenance and preventing costly hardware degradation in their communication equipment.
Canadian Research Lab Meets Air Quality Compliance
In Montreal, a university nanotech research center used our particulate sensors to continuously monitor lab environments. The system’s automated reporting and alerting helped them pass multiple third-party air quality inspections and maintain critical ISO 6 cleanroom certification.
