Construction sites produce airborne particles that can affect surrounding areas. Monitoring these emissions with accuracy is crucial—not just for reports, but for real impact. At AirLogics, we bring a results-oriented approach to construction site dust monitoring, offering dependable, modular, and responsive equipment with the AQS-1 and Dust Sentry. Both units are tailored for field conditions and continuous performance, giving you accurate data when decisions matter. We understand the importance of identifying potential air quality issues early and accurately.


Modular Build, Field-Tested Value


Both systems are built to handle varied site conditions. With components that measure PM10, PM2.5, PM1, TSP, and up to three gases, they provide an integrated view of particulate levels and gaseous emissions. Optional capabilities include wind speed, noise, temperature, humidity, and rain sensors—all in one structure. This adaptability helps environmental professionals customize each unit to their site needs.


By offering a platform that can expand as needed, AirLogics provides tools that grow with your site demands. These units are not restricted to preset configurations. You can modify or upgrade them based on the specific emissions or meteorological conditions relevant to your current work zone. This degree of flexibility allows environmental leads to optimize performance and focus on what matters most—off-site impact management.


Real-Time Tracking Without Guesswork


The AQS-1 includes a pumped air sampling design. This ensures a steady, uninterrupted flow to the sensors—helping reduce signal disruption and extend sensor lifespan. An inlet heater also minimizes humidity’s effect on readings. This small detail makes a big difference when reliability is non-negotiable. Every decision made with this data is grounded in stable, uninterrupted collection.


Rather than relying on passive airflow or low-cost optics, the system uses established technologies known for consistency. The paired combination of active airflow, quality sensing, and protective design is what separates the AQS-1 from common air monitoring setups. When dealing with high dust activity or fluctuating weather elements, the technology continues to deliver clean, actionable readings.


More Than Just Sensors—Smart Auto-Correction Built In


One of the most efficient features of the AQS-1 is its Automatic Baseline Correction (ABC). It recalibrates the system every 60 seconds to eliminate sensor drift and cross-gas interference. With this, the data remains consistent throughout the deployment, even over extended periods. This automation saves time and adds confidence to every logged report.


Accuracy should never be a tradeoff for convenience. By embedding smart correction directly into the system, AirLogics ensures that long-term projects aren’t compromised by environmental changes or internal drift. It means that whether you’re logging data for a day or a season, your records remain dependable without constant manual recalibration.


Designed to Work Where You Work


AirLogics delivers monitoring platforms with lightweight frames, battery power, and solar charging options, these units are built for quick setup and once deployed, users access all data remotely via a web interface, with real-time alerts via SMS or email for threshold events. This saves effort while increasing oversight.


For construction teams working on fast-paced schedules, setup and operation should not delay the mission. The Dust Sentry and AQS-1 are field-ready and responsive—no matter where your site moves next.


Data You Can Trust—Backed by Advanced Calibration


The AQS-1 uses a nephelometer made by Met One Instruments, known for durability and consistency in outdoor use. All gas sensors are factory-calibrated using high-purity gas standards under ISO 6143. Field calibration is done with the same references used in certified analyzers. At AirLogics, your data is not just captured—it’s supported by traceable calibration protocols.


When you're reviewing air measurements that influence reporting, you need to know those values come from trusted methods. The calibration approach we use mirrors protocols followed by certified analyzers—without the hassle of bulky lab-grade equipment. You're getting streamlined data collection with real lab-backed accuracy.


Every Feature Has a Reason


The power behind our systems lies in smart integration. From gravimetric dust sampling to real-time VOC detection, these tools capture more than just numbers. They deliver reliable tracking for off-site impact zones—so construction teams can stay informed, respond quickly, and manage environmental accountability confidently.


The range of inputs means you're never blind to what's in the air. Dust, gases, meteorological factors, and sound—all captured and sent in real time. It’s a full suite of tools packed into a practical platform designed for clarity and convenience.


Built for Results, Not Just Reporting


AirLogics developed AQS-1 and Dust Sentry to be more than just monitors. These are responsive systems for field professionals who need dependable output—hour by hour, day by day. No fluff, no unnecessary add-ons. Just clean data, efficient tracking, and flexible deployment—all supported by tech that meets the highest standards of accuracy.
