When designing a perimeter air monitoring plan, environmental consultants and site remediators know the importance of having a purpose-built monitoring system that “just works every time”. The value of a simple, portable solution that you can install easily - and one that offers access to accurate, real-time data from anywhere - can’t be overstated. Knowing immediately if site activities threaten to cause an exceedance can be the difference between seamless compliance and costly delays, fines, or even a complete site shutdown.

Unfortunately, finding the right solution is not always that simple. Some solutions on the market look suitable on paper but prove unreliable and cumbersome in practice – think connection issues, complex setup requirements, data loss, enclosure leaks, regular battery maintenance, and the list goes on. Other solutions provide a degree of reliability but require more frequent site visits for maintenance, calibration, or to physically obtain data. Lengthy delays, lost data, and unnecessary site visits cost time and money, impacting your budget and project delivery.

So, what’s the solution? A CAMP (Community Air Monitoring Plan) monitoring station that is fit-for-purpose, built to withstand the rigors of perimeter monitoring, and primed to deliver optimal total package value. Aeroqual’s range of integrated air monitoring and software systems simplify the gathering of accurate and reliable data. Our perimeter air monitoring solutions feature a modular design, allowing you to add additional sensor modules to suit your project or regulatory requirements. Whether you’re measuring dust (including PM₁, PM_2.5, PM₄, PM₁₀, TSP) or common gas pollutants, our systems deliver simultaneous measurement of multiple airborne contaminants. Available gas modules include O₃, NO₂, CO, CO₂, SO₂, VOCs, H₂S, CH₄, BTEX and NOx.

Once you’ve installed your monitoring device in the field, you can connect your system to Aeroqual Cloud in under three minutes. Aeroqual Cloud is our intuitive data visualization software, providing automatic alerts and remote access to real-time data via your browser or the Aeroqual mobile app. Easily share perimeter monitoring data using customizable viewing rights and build trust with key stakeholders. Aeroqual Cloud even facilitates API integration with your existing software, making all your data viewable from one convenient location.

To further optimize your perimeter monitoring system, consider adding Aeroqual OneView, our automated site contribution software. With Aeroqual OneView, you can save 30-plus minutes per day by leveraging automatic contribution calculations and built-in report templates tailored to your choice of relevant regulation. From NY DER-10 (and associated CAMP monitoring requirements) to South Coast AQMD Rule 1466, or NJDEP’s PAM technical guidance document, Aeroqual OneView streamlines compliance and reporting, reducing risk and saving you time and money.

In addition to adding new sensor modules as needed, Aeroqual’s perimeter monitoring systems also feature the ability to add noise or vibration sensors and weather station upgrades. When we say our CAMP stations and perimeter monitoring systems are “purpose-built”, this doesn’t mean they come locked with a fixed set of capabilities. Versatility is key, and part of being fit-for-purpose is having the ability to expand your solution to suit the project's demands. Our network of local channel partners also offers the choice of integrating your monitoring system with battery or solar power solutions, providing anywhere from 15 to 28 continuous hours of operation.

In the following table, we’ve prepared an example comparison of the Aeroqual AQS monitoring system (with the new Aeroqual PCX module) vs a DustTrak^TM (with MiniRAE 3000 and telemetry) solution. Big-picture benefits include simplified support via a single solution provider, low-touch field operation, and daily time savings. At the feature level, the Aeroqual solution offers stable measurement of VOCs, PID sensor calibration at 1–3-month intervals (as opposed to daily calibration), and two-way remote management capabilities.

When looking for a perimeter monitoring system that “just works every time”, it’s not enough for a solution to be partially fit-for-purpose. Key feature gaps or a lack of support can leave you vulnerable to inefficiency and delay. It’s the sum of all the above benefits, from our automated software and robust device enclosure to the accuracy of our data, that make our CAMP stations and perimeter monitoring solutions truly purpose-built.
