When Fugitive Dust Spikes, You’ll Know—And You’ll Be Ready
Stay ahead of enforcement risk and complaints with continuous monitoring built for environmental teams.
Why fugitive dust still
gets sites in trouble
You’ve got controls in place. The team is trained. But visible dust and complaints still happen, and they’re hard to explain without the data to back it up.
Traditional monitoring leaves blind spots. When the wind shifts or visibility drops, you don’t always know the source, the location, or the speed of the event before your permit is at risk.
Opacity thresholds are easy to exceed and hard to catch in time
You may be overspending on dust control. Even if you think your water trucks and sprays are working, you may be throwing money away on ineffective dust control.
Fugitive dust complaints escalate quickly
Nearby communities report what they see, not what you measure. If you don’t have the data, you’re left without a defense.
Most monitoring isn’t built for enforcement or response
Periodic readings and lagging indicators don’t show when or where things went wrong.
Weather can override your best controls
Wind shifts and dry conditions create spikes no water truck or baghouse can fully prevent.
Smarter monitoring. Real savings.
Managing fugitive dust and opacity without continuous monitoring drives
up costs—from wasted water truck deployments to trial-and-error
mitigation strategies.
APT helps environmental and operations teams avoid waste
and boost efficiency—on the ground and in the budget:
From exceedance to action
monitor fugitive dust and opacity in real time, alert staff to exceedances, and
deliver the data you need to respond with confidence.

Technology
Engineered for Instant Visibility
We combine rugged, low-maintenance sensors with intelligent cloud software to give environmental teams the real-time data they need to stay ahead of opacity limits and dust-related violations.
From zone-specific mapping to time-stamped trendlines, you’ll have the clarity to prioritize action before enforcement steps in.
Fast and easy deployments
We handle install, calibration, and upkeep so your team doesn’t have to.
Smarter, visual insights
Track dust trends by zone, task, or weather, and keep your reporting aligned with permit thresholds.
Action-ready alerts
Customize SMS and LED notifications to match your site layout and enforcement thresholds.
Where expertise meets
industry excellence
The ability to respond instantly to risks using real-time data has been a huge improvement for our operations.

Case study
How one site turned dust complaints into defensible action
When a leading aggregates producer faced community complaints and inconsistent dust data, they turned to APT. Within weeks, they had 10 monitors deployed, alerts dialed in, and real-time visibility across the site.
Now, they don’t just react—they respond with data that regulators can trust.
Better decisions start with real-time insight
APT helps industrial teams move faster, act smarter, and stay compliant—because when you can see the problem clearly, you can solve it confidently.
