A method for detecting contaminants in an airflow includes urging an airflow from a desired source location into a volume of water. The airflow is mixed into the water, and particles are dissolved in the water. A change in a property of the volume water is measured via a detection probe, indicative of an amount of particles present in the volume of water. A system for detecting particles includes a container configured to contain a volume of water and an airflow inlet in the container configured to introduce an airflow into the volume of water from a desired source location. A detection probe is located in the container to detect changes in a selected property of the volume of water after introduction of the airflow into the volume of water thereby indicating presence of particles in the airflow.
