The challenge

Mining and quarrying operations generate significant dust and airborne pollutants that shift rapidly with activity levels, weather, and site conditions. Periodic monitoring can't keep pace — leaving operators without the visibility needed to protect workers, respond to hotspots, or verify that dust suppression measures are actually working.

The Persium approach

Persium deploys sensor networks across operational zones, access roads, and site boundaries — delivering continuous, real-time data on dust, particulates, and key pollutants throughout the working day. Wind-aware analytics help pinpoint emission sources, while configurable alerts notify teams before conditions become unsafe or non-compliant. All data is time-stamped, exportable, and audit-ready.

What mining & quarrying operators use it for

Worker dust exposure monitoring:

Track PM2.5, PM10, and coarser dust fractions across active extraction zones to support safe working conditions.

Dust suppression verification:

Measure whether suppression measures are delivering real reductions, and adjust operations based on live data rather than assumptions.

Boundary & community monitoring:

Perimeter sensors show when and where dust travels beyond the site, enabling early response before community complaints or regulatory action follow.

Source apportionment:

Combine air quality data with wind readings to identify which operations, roads, or stockpiles are driving emission spikes.

Regulatory & ESG reporting:

Generate auditable, continuous records to demonstrate compliance with environmental permits and support responsible operations reporting.
