Dust monitoring
The dust fall-out field monitoring services assess the operational impact on the environment in terms of air quality. This is done by means of trained technicians that follow specific sampling protocols and use state of the art equipment. The sample chain of custody is important, and all field conditions are recorded as part of the sample collection process. Collected sample containers are transported to the laboratory under controlled conditions where analyses are conducted under SANAS ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation (No T0685).

Until recently, dust fall-out monitoring equipment, which adhered to the strict ASTM D1739–98 regulations, were difficult or nearly impossible to come by in South Africa.
Dustco wanted to make a difference...
Realising this need, Dustco set out to create and manufacture fall-out dust solutions in South Africa that were 100% compliant to the legislation pertaining to the “Standard Test Method for Collection and Measurement of Dustfall”.
Aquatico only uses the Dustco units for dust deposition monitoring.
