TERA Sensor

Real-time Personal PM exposure you can carry anywhere.

Air isn’t uniform. Your exposure can spike on a specific street, during a commute, or even while cooking. PMSCAN helps you see those moments in real time so you can act: change a route, adjust ventilation, or document hotspots for interventions. It’s a compact, battery-powered monitor designed to make particle exposure visible, practical, and comparable across people and places.

Highlights

Why personal exposure monitoring matters

Most Air-Quality programs focus on fixed stations. They are essential—however, they miss what individuals actually breathe as they move. Personal monitoring complements Fixed Air Quality Monitoring networks by:

> Capturing Micro-Environments (transport, indoor activities, streets, schools).
> Revealing short-lived peaks that contribute to individual exposure to pollutants in a complete quantifiable exposure profile.
> Enabling Behaviour and Policy Changes based on measured individual exposure profiles.

This is important for public health studies, occupational hygiene, citizen science, education programs, and organizations that want to reduce employee exposure on site and in transit.

TERA Sensor - PMSCAN

The PMSCAN device is a compact and portable solution for Personal Exposure Monitoring to fine particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10).

> Embedded the NextPM sensor

> Real-Time Air Quality Data

> High accuracy even in challenging environments

> Designed for worker safety, mobility studies, public health assessments and citizen science

> Bluetooth connectivity, internal memory, and multi-platform apps (iOS, Android, Windows)

> 20 hours of battery run time

Real-time Particle Exposure tracking

Real-time exposure tracking tools like PMSCAN deliver continuous, location-specific PM data throughout the working day. PMSCAN logs PM10, PM2.5, and PM1.0 every second and timestamps each reading giving you a complete exposure profile.

This makes it the right tool for:

> Occupational Health Assessments: Identify peak exposure windows during specific tasks

> Field Research and Epidemiology: Correlate personal exposure with health outcomes

> Compliance Monitoring: Document worker exposure against regulatory thresholds (EN 689, OSHA)

> Industrial Hygiene Surveys: Compare exposure levels across workstations, shifts, and processes

PMSCAN fits in a pocket and runs continuously for a full working day on a single charge. Data is accessible in real time via the mobile app or exported for offline analysis.

For continuous particle exposure tracking across multiple workers simultaneously, PMSCAN can be deployed as a Fleet — each unit logging independently with data centralised for comparative analysis.
