Thatβs why Particulate Matter (PM) Analysis is a crucial part of any Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Audit.
At Aimtech Systems LLP, we provide comprehensive dust and particulate matter testing services for homes, offices, factories, hospitals, and cleanroom environments.
What is Particulate Matter?
Particulate Matter (PM) is a blend of tiny solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in the air. Some, such as dust, soot, dirt, or smoke, are large or dark enough to be visible to the naked eye. Others are so small that they can only be detected using specialized instruments.
Types of Particulate Matter We Analyze
PM2.5 (Particulate Matter β€ 2.5 microns)
These are extremely fine particles capable of reaching deep into the lungs and potentially entering the bloodstream.
Combustion (vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions)
Indoor cooking or heating (especially with poor ventilation)
Tobacco smoke
Organic dust and bioaerosols
- Health Impact: Prolonged exposure is associated with asthma, bronchitis, heart disease, and decreased lung capacity.
PM10 (Particulate Matter β€ 10 microns)
These include slightly larger particles like:
Pollen
Mold spores
Cement dust
Textile fibers
Settled indoor dust
- Health Impact: PM10 can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat and cause respiratory distress, especially in children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions.
Why Dust & PM Analysis is Important
β’ Helps diagnose indoor pollution problems
β’ Supports OSHA, WHO, and ISHRAE compliance
β’ Protects employees and residents from respiratory illnesses
β’ Assists in improving ventilation and filtration systems
β’ Critical for cleanroom validation and pharmaceutical manufacturing
Where PM Analysis is Crucial
β’ Hospitals and healthcare facilities
β’ Laboratories and cleanrooms
β’ Offices and commercial buildings
β’ Industrial and manufacturing units
β’ Residential complexes
Our Testing Approach
We use calibrated particle counters and air sampling equipment to measure PM concentrations. Results are compared against acceptable limits defined by:
β’ WHO Air Quality Guidelines
β’ EPA Air Standards
β’ ASHRAE & ISHRAE IAQ norms
