DECODING PARTICULATE POLLUTION FOR ENGINEERING & CONSULTING OFFICES
Empowering engineering and environmental consultancies with advanced dust analysis and source attribution services.
Whether you're advising clients on tunnel construction, logistics platforms, or simply helping someone understand where that strange substance on outdoor surfaces is coming from—Particle Vision provides the scientific clarity behind real-world air pollution questions.
Engineering and consulting offices are often the first point of contact when dust appears on cars, buildings, fields, or infrastructure. Your clients rely on you for answers.
Is it coming from nearby road traffic? A construction site? A factory or natural background source?
We help you respond with scientific certainty, using advanced morpho-chemical particle fingerprinting to identify what the substance is and where it’s coming from. Our data supports public communication, regulatory action, infrastructure planning, or conflict resolution.
Many of your clients aren’t asking about legal thresholds—they simply want to know:
“What is this substance on my property, and who is responsible?”
We help engineering offices quickly analyze and interpret samples of unknown dust, residues or strange surface coatings. Our methods identify chemical composition and likely source, allowing you to respond with reliable, actionable answers—whether it’s an isolated event or part of a broader pattern.
Common cases include:
• Dark or white particles on cars or windows
• Sticky or flaky residues on building facades
• Metallic dust in industrial or rural settings
• Complaints linked to nearby construction or transport activity
Excavation, demolition, material handling, tunneling
We help attribute site-specific dust emissions to their true source, separating them from traffic or regional background levels.
Tire & brake particles, road dust resuspension, heavy vehicle activity
We quantify emissions from machinery, trucks, and internal road use—helping isolate transport-related contributions for mitigation planning.
Soil resuspension, mineral background, seasonal patterns
Our fingerprinting methodology separates man-made emissions from natural fluctuations, crucial for fair compliance assessments.
Deliver clear attribution for your client's site—whether it’s a landfill, quarry, or construction project—within a complex emission context.
Back your reports with validated, high-resolution particle data to meet evolving regulatory expectations and shorten approval timelines.
Support your clients in addressing neighborhood concerns by providing objective, third-party particle source evidence.
Use follow-up campaigns to verify the impact of wheel washing, dust barriers, or operational changes—strengthening your advisory offering.
Source-specific PM80–PM2.5 and PM10 quantification
Reference dust sampling and fingerprinting
Long-term dust monitoring campaigns
Emission impact modelling and reporting
Validation of third-party measurements or complaints
Independent expert opinion for permitting, audits, or litigation
We select the analytical approach best suited to your specific challenge—whether it’s bulk analysis, single-particle analysis, or a tailored combination of both. Our goal is always to deliver the clearest, most actionable results.
Our proprietary ASPA MC2® methodology combines:
Targeted Sampling
at critical exposure points, depending on the source and context.
Automated Particle Analysis
using high-resolution methods to determine particle morphology and elemental composition.
Machine-Learning Classification
to compare each particle’s fingerprint against validated source libraries.
Source Attribution & Reporting
providing decision-ready insights tailored to technical, legal, or policy needs.
Our technology goes beyond standard particulate matter (PM) monitoring. We identify and differentiate source-specific particles—whether from mining, industry, construction activities, or traffic—based on their unique morpho-chemical signatures. This includes materials such as mineral dust, cement residues, abrasion particles, traffic-related emissions like tire and brake wear, or other contaminants. The result: actionable, source-specific insights that support compliance, impact assessments, and the design of effective mitigation strategies.
Our methodologies were developed and validated through collaboration with renowned public agencies and academic partners across Europe. This ensures that our data and approach meet the highest standards of scientific credibility.
We offer unbiased, third-party analysis. As we are not tied to product vendors or engineering firms, you can trust that our results are objective and focused solely on environmental insight and impact.
We help operators, authorities, and communities find common ground based on solid data.
From air quality policy to investment planning, our work supports informed and defensible decisions.
