摘要

Quantifying and monitoring diffuse particulate matter emissions presents surface mining operations with increasing regulatory and economic challenges. This study validated a modern, laser-based scattered light measuring device (Omnidots Swarm Air) in the real-world open-pit mining operation of the Golling limestone quarry (Leube Group) over a two-month period (May to July 2025).

The aim was to investigate the practical applicability of the IoT-based measurement system and to correlate the measured PM10 and PM2.5 emissions with the legal limits of the Austrian Air Pollution Control Act (IG-L) and with the official background data from the SAGIS station Hallein A10.

The results show that the legal daily mean limit of 50 g/m3 was not exceeded at any time. The maximum daily mean measured value was 39 g/m3, while the arithmetic mean for the entire measurement period was 15 g/m3.

The measurement system proved to be highly reliable and provided precise temporal resolution, although software deficiencies were identified in data export and automatic system restart after power outages.
