The AIR-AIDE™ portable, direct-reading airborne particulate monitor surveys dust levels for indoor and ambient air monitoring. Use interchangeable size-selective impactors to sample for PM10, PM2.5, PM1.0, or ISO respirable (4.0 µm). AIR-AIDE is ideal for use in indoor air quality investigations and compliance monitoring.
