Air Quality Monitoring
The cleanliness and availability of oxygen in a working environment tell you whether or not specialized breathing gear is necessary for workers. At Intermountain Technologies, we are proud to offer a collection of air quality monitoring systems for industries such as construction and mining.
Incorporate user-friendly devices into your workflow that operate using sensors to communicate harmful contaminants in the air that could otherwise put your team at risk.
The Value of Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring for Mining
Intermountain Technologies sells air quality monitoring equipment to aid with safety and compliance initiatives. The solutions we provide from Teledyne are engineered to sense hazardous environments continuously and detect pollutants and particulate matter present in mining and construction sites.
This equipment aims to help crews work transparently. Learning about harmful airborne contaminants allows you to adapt your approach, mitigate health concerns and align your efforts with environmental standards.
Many of Intermountain Technologies’ solutions are intended for in-cabin use. Operate mining equipment with a proactive approach to recording carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, humidity levels and related factors. We give you the peace of mind that professionals working in mines will get an alert should conditions change to unsafe parameters.
Abide by Mine Safety and Health Administration Guidelines
Our mining air quality monitoring system is useful for keeping up with the current guidelines set by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Silica dust is a common hazard in coal and metal mining operations. Individuals can easily inhale the small contaminant particles, leading to chronic and irreversible health conditions.
To help reduce the negative health effects associated with inhaling silica dust, MSHA announced its final rule, which took effect in June 2024. The rule states organizations must ensure working mines do not exceed silica dust exposures of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The previous guideline was 100 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Mines were to be compliant with new regulations by April 15, 2025.
Intermountain Technologies provides solutions that organizations need to abide by recent MSHA changes. With precise, real-time monitoring, Teledyne systems can reduce harmful exposure to silica dust and protect the health of workers.
Introducing ACES® Technology
Our experts introduce you to a comprehensive platform for assessing air quality details, ACES®. This is an application accessible from mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
Pair compatible technology from our catalog with ACES® to gauge a long list of air quality metrics, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter.
Using In-Cab Air Quality Monitoring for Mining
Intermountain Technologies offers mining air quality monitoring systems for vehicles and loaders. Position detection devices inside cabins, and a collection of sensors continuously takes air quality samples while your crew works. The sensors communicate with digital software. You enter the parameters for safe working conditions, and the technology looks for instances when environmental conditions peak to dangerous levels.
Using ACES®, you can reference worksite trends and provide documentation regarding safety and compliance to governing bodies overseeing your operations.
