Pollution monitoring - Particles and gases
Industrial activities, construction sites, logistics platforms and certain infrastructures can generate particle and gas emissions that can have an impact on air quality and the health of surrounding populations. In a context of tightening regulations and growing demands for environmental transparency, one-off monitoring is no longer sufficient to meet the expectations of authorities and stakeholders.
Continuous, real-time monitoring of atmospheric pollutants is an appropriate response: it makes it possible to objectify measured levels, rapidly detect any drift, anticipate threshold exceedances and secure site operations. Particle and gas monitoring thus provides reliable indicators for steering activities, reacting proactively to critical situations and demonstrating regulatory compliance on an ongoing, documented basis.

Health and regulatory issues
Emissions of fine particles and gases can have a significant impact on human health, the environment and the social acceptability of industrial activities. Controlling these emissions involves meeting regulatory, health and operational challenges.
Continuous monitoring of atmospheric pollutants provides a structured response: compliance with regulatory thresholds applicable to worksites and industrial sites, control of exposure to fine particles (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), monitoring of concentrations of potentially toxic or irritating gases, and complete traceability of data in the event of inspections or complaints.
Setting up such a system makes it possible to objectify measured concentrations in real time, anticipate drifts and proactively manage emissions before any critical exceedance occurs.
Atmospheric particle measurement
The monitoring system enables continuous measurement of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 particle concentrations.
Average and maximum levels are recorded in order to precisely characterize exposure conditions.
In the case of construction sites or specific activities, the cumulative PM10 dose can be calculated in order to meet applicable regulatory requirements.
Indicators are displayed via an interface incorporating a color code facilitating immediate identification of normal, vigilant or exceedance situations.
Atmospheric gas monitoring
The device can also measure different types of gas depending on site requirements: CO, NO2, NO, H2S, CO2, SO2, NOX.
This modularity enables monitoring to be adapted to the specific features of industrial activities or local regulatory constraints.
Measured concentrations are continuously recorded and integrated into the system database for analysis and evaluation.
Real-time alert system
A configurable alert system informs operators when thresholds are exceeded or abnormal trends are detected. Notifications can be sent by SMS, e-mail, and configurable pre-alerts.
Trigger criteria can be customized according to measured levels, duration of exposure or a combination of several parameters, enabling management adapted to the risks identified.
Web interface and data processing
All the data collected is accessible via a secure web interface and a dedicated website, from which it is possible to view particle and gas concentrations in real time, track historical trends in indicators, remotely control sensors and consult the entire measurement database.
Automatic report generation in Word and Excel formats completes the system, facilitating internal communication, transmission to the relevant authorities and documentation of environmental actions undertaken.
Applications and contexts
Particle and gas monitoring applies in particular :
- construction sites subject to regulatory constraints
- industrial sites emitting dust or gas
- logistics platforms
- sensitive environments requiring air quality monitoring
It can be deployed on a temporary or permanent basis, depending on project requirements or regulatory obligations.
A monitoring solution for compliance and environmental responsibility
Continuous monitoring of particles and gases is a structuring tool for managing air quality and controlling health and regulatory risks.
By combining continuous measurement, configurable alerts, remote data access and automated report generation, SIM Engineering offers a solution focused on reliability, traceability and compliance.This approach enables operators to anticipate exceedances, secure their operations and make air emissions management part of a controlled, sustainable environmental approach.
