Durag Group GRIMM EDM 280 Environmental Dust Monitor

The GRIMM EDM 280 is an environmental dust monitor designed for real-time PM monitoring in ambient air. This latest-generation optical aerosol spectrometer uses light scattering at single particles to provide precise, continuous measurement of particulate matter under a wide range of environmental conditions. DURAG highlights the EDM 280 for its low detection limit, excellent counting efficiency, and suitability for both fixed monitoring stations and mobile air quality applications.

The EDM 280 is designed to measure TSP, PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1, and PMcoarse, while also providing a full particle size distribution across 72 size channels. DURAG states that the instrument is QAL1 certified by TÜV and MCERTS for PM10 and PM2.5 in accordance with EN 12341, EN 16450, EN 15267, and VDI 4202-3, and it is also approved by LCSQA for regulatory air quality monitoring networks. These features make the EDM 280 a strong fit for ambient air monitoring programs where data quality, fast response, and compliance performance are important.

Available in Canada through Westech Industrial, the GRIMM EDM 280 complements Westech’s environmental and analytical monitoring offering for customers who require dependable particulate monitoring in ambient air applications. Westech supports customers across Canada with industrial monitoring solutions and technical product support.
