In the present undergraduate project, a monitoring protocol was developed using a commercial sensor for measuring Particulate Matter PM10 and PM2.5. The objective was to determine the air quality in the vicinity of commune 10 in the City of Neiva, Department of Huila, specifically at the Este workshop yard construction site. This information was analyzed in two (2) experimental phases to understand the variations in particulate matter. In Experimental Phase I, measurements were taken by adapting the sensor to an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) during the installation activities of the granular sub-base, while in Experimental Phase II, measurements were taken by adapting the sensor to a fixed base during the installation activities of MR-42 pavement in the construction of the access road. For this analysis, data recorded by the professional monitor Atmotube PRO were used. Measurements were conducted over fourteen (14) days for Experimental Phase I, from April 8 to April 26, 2024, and over three (3) days for Experimental Phase II, from July 16 to July 18, 2024. This project was conducted with the support of the construction contractor, who, in accordance with their policies, prioritizes the protection of a sustainable environment. This presents a socio-environmental issue within the construction sector.
