Air Quality Monitoring


Solution

Monitor What You Breathe!


AIR POLLUTION
➢ An environmental and social problem

➢ Affects human health

➢ Causes aggravated asthma, increases allergic reaction symptoms, lung cancer, heart
diseases

➢ Economic impact

➢ Increases medical costs – 4 billion EUR/year in Europe

➢ Increases number of days lost at work – 16 billion EUR/year in Europe

➢ Causes premature deaths

✓ WHO estimates that 6,5 million people die prematurely each year from causes
directly linked to air pollution
CURRENT STATUS

➢ Professional fixed monitoring stations


✓ Very expensive equipment, high servicing costs
✓ Low spatial coverage
✓ Used by specialized governmental institutions
INDICATIVE MEASUREMENTS - EU DIRECTIVE
➢ EU directive 2008/50/EC
✓ Proposes indicative measurements as supplement to the fixed ones
✓ Combining those measurements and modelling techniques → possibility to asses air quality over
wider geographic area with more detailed overview than just using one or few fixed measuring
stations
INDICATIVE MONITORING STATIONS
1. Took the functionalities from
professional monitoring
stations

5. Smart Sense AirQ Monitoring


Station
2. Add connectivity

4. Lower the
price

3. Make it much
smaller
MONITORING SYSTEM
➢ Solution consists of:
✓ Smart Sense AirQ monitoring station:
✓ Modular design with swappable sensing modules (NO2, NOX, CO,
SO2, O3, airborne particles PM1, PM2.5, PM10)

✓ Microclimate sensors: temperature, humidity, air pressure

✓ Other supporting sensing elements: NH3, H2S, SO2, wind speed and
direction, precipitation, noise

✓ Smart Sense AirQ cloud (or any other IoT platform)

✓ Smart Sense AirQ web and mobile application

➢ Simple plug & play installation


➢ Real - time data
SYSTEM FOR MONITORING OUTDOOR AIR QUALITY
WEB APPLICATION

➢ Location of station on Google Maps


➢ Graphical and numerical view of
measured values for each gas and
particulate for a certain period
➢ Current air quality index value (AQI) and
colour of the current situation
indicating general air quality
➢ Data history
MOBILE APPLICATION

➢ iOS and Android application


➢ Real – time data
OUR RESULTS

➢ Collaboration with Andrija


Stampar Teaching Institute of
Public Health in Croatia in
validating Smart Sense AirQ
Monitoring Station data with
professional environmental
station data
➢ Result → Data validated by
Teaching Institute of Public
Comparison: May 2017 Health in Croatia!
USE CASE – BIG DATA
➢ Data management by ecological and health agencies

➢ Data collected through monitoring stations can be used for modelling techniques,
estimates and predictions of air quality in the cities

➢ Better air quality overview in the cities→ action plans

➢ Accurate information about certain pollutants on certain locations

➢ Avoiding general announcements about air quality in the City in the case of natural disasters

➢ „Real – time” traffic management


USE CASE - PROMOTION
➢ Promotion of the city as a tourist destination with high air quality

➢ Show air quality data on the ferry docks, beaches, city center, promenades, ...

➢ Let's show our guests that they can enjoy the fresh air all over the city!
USE CASE – NOISE DETECTION
➢ Air pollution is also measured by the present noise level

➢ Monitor the noise level in the city – regulation of coffee shop and
restaurant working hours in populated area according to the noise level

➢ Send the noise level information on the mobile phones (in real - time) to the
responsible institutions / communal officers
USE CASE – EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
➢ Be smart and social responsible city!

➢ Inform citizens precisely about air quality depending on their location – particularly
important in case of natural disasters (e.g. fire) and emergency situations
