Mining and quarrying activities produce dust from periodic explosions and heavy vehicles. Many industrial processes emit particulate matter, including mineral, metallic, and wood dust. This worsens air quality and increases the risk of respiratory ailments such as asthma and bronchitis. Air quality monitoring for mines and quarries, including PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, and other air quality parameters, helps authorities monitor conditions. The collected data generates alerts based on thresholds set by regulators. Setting dust level thresholds provides relevant alerts to authorities and regulatory bodies.
Automating Dust Suppression
Most mining sites and quarries require dust suppressors to reduce particulate matter and other air pollutants effectively. By installing Oizom’s smart, accurate, and robust Dust monitoring system around the sites, the impact of dust is quantified. Setting thresholds for dust levels can trigger signals to the mist (or water) cannons and automate operation. Optimized power consumption and workforce are crucial for mines, thus enabling efficient air quality monitoring in mines and quarries.
Optimized Power Consumption
Efficient Dust Control
Less Manpower
Alerts for Weather Prediction
Some of the mining sites are situated in areas prone to severe weather conditions, including dust storms, which pose a significant threat to workers and the progress of the work. Dust monitoring, along with weather monitoring, can be deployed in and around the mining site to help shed light on the weather conditions. It can give timely notifications and alerts to the authorities in case of sandstorms and other unpredictable weather conditions. Oizom’s monitors provide real-time air quality and weather monitoring data to help authorities take action to safeguard workers and property from damage.

Dust Pollution Due to Vehicular Movement
Mining activities in general include transporting minerals by trucks and heavy earth movers. This leads to high levels of road dust, making the environment unsafe for workers. A smart and robust dust-monitoring solution - Dustroid helps track real-time dust pollution. Authorities can obtain accurate readings of dust dispersion from such activities and generate reports to ensure the safety and security of people and the environment. This also prompts the authorities to take corrective action when such dust-laden activities emit dust levels that cross a particular threshold.
