Dust/particulate monitor for shop

[Mark Beach]

Has anyone used a particulate monitor to monitor dust in their wood shop?


With all the indoor air quality stuff coming out, there are several particulate monitors available….typically 2.5 um and 10 um but there are some 1.0 um. I was thinking of getting one to try and monitor the dust. I have a small shop in the basement and have tried to isolate it and add appropriate dust collection. But it would be nice to monitor the shop and adjacent areas form time to time to make sure I have things under control.




I saw this and they used a Dylos DC1100 Air Quality Meter.

And recent post here:

There are definitely more options now with of the indoor air quality sensors available. I think something in the smaller range so the lowest looks like a PM 1.0 type which is to 1000 um.


Maybe some thing like this:
