High-Precision PM2.5/PM10 Monitors for Forest Air Quality
Track and quantify fine particulate matter with Enviro Forest’s rugged, high-sensitivity monitors designed for forest emission surveillance.
Overview
At Enviro Forest, our High-Precision Particulate Monitors (PM2.5/PM10) provide critical insight into airborne particulate concentrations within forest ecosystems. Designed to detect fine particles from wildfire smoke, nearby development, and natural emissions, these monitors enable precise, continuous air quality assessments. Ideal for both research and regulatory compliance, our systems support real-time and long-term environmental data collection across diverse forest conditions. Built for accuracy, durability, and seamless integration into broader atmospheric monitoring systems, our monitors empower organizations to safeguard biodiversity, study pollutant sources, and inform sustainable forest management strategies.

Case Studies
California, USA – Sierra Nevada Smoke Monitoring Initiative
Enviro Forest deployed PM2.5/PM10 monitors across the Sierra Nevada range during an intense wildfire season. The data helped emergency response teams issue timely health advisories and influenced controlled burn planning for future seasons
Montana, USA – Forest-Urban Interface Air Quality Study
In collaboration with a state university, our systems were installed near communities bordering national forests to evaluate how development impacts local air quality. The study led to new buffer zone recommendations
British Columbia, Canada – Post-Logging Air Quality Impact Assessment
Following extensive logging operations, our monitors were used to evaluate residual airborne particulate matter. The findings were used by the provincial government to revise post-harvest site management guidelines.
