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.
WHY IT MATTERS
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.
WHAT IS THIS DUST?
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, paint-like 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 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
SOURCES WE DIFFERENTIATE
🏗️ Construction and Civil Engineering Activities
Excavation, demolition, material handling, tunneling We help attribute site-specific dust emissions to their true source, separating them from traffic or regional background levels.
🚛 On-Site and Off-Site Logistics
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.
🌬️ Natural & Background Dust
Soil resuspension, mineral background, seasonal patterns Our fingerprinting methodology separates man-made emissions from natural fluctuations, crucial for fair compliance assessments.
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 proprietaryASPA 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.
WHY CHOOSE PARTICLE VISION
🔬 Advanced Particle Fingerprinting for Traffic Pollutants
Our technology goes beyond basic PM monitoring. We identify and differentiate traffic-specific particles—such as tire and brake wear, road abrasion, and resuspension dust—based on their unique morpho-chemical signatures. This enables targeted, source-specific action.
🧑🏫 Scientific Methods Co-Developed with Leading Institutions
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.
🧭 Independent and Vendor-Neutral
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.
🤝 Trusted in High-Stakes, Multi-Stakeholder Contexts
We help operators, authorities, and communities find common ground based on solid data.
📊 Insights That Drive Compliance and Operational Strategy
From air quality policy to investment planning, our work supports informed and defensible decisions.
