Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
The commercial office space market is no stranger to swiftly accommodating the needs of their tenants. In the ‘90s and 2000s, this meant amenities like gym space and cafes for workers who needed to be on-site. Now, as hybrid work models and environmentally sustainable business models become central to their customers, we’re seeing more demand for indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring. ...

Analysis of local concentration gradients in complex built environments: implications for Air Quality Management Areas
This paper reviews the existing guidance on placement of permanent air quality monitoring stations within urban areas and suggests the principles for a new, performance-based guidance. An integrated air quality model has been developed and validated for the designated Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) located in Glasgow City Centre to analyse the importance of local concentration gradients on ...

Airport Air Quality Monitoring for Smart Airports
Global air travel has increased tremendously in the last decade with easier domestic and intercontinental travel. People are more inclined towards the aeroplane for long-distance travel as it saves time. An increase in Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs) makes air travel cheaper and more frequent. An increase in air travel tends to increase air pollution due to higher fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. ...

Breathing Easy: How Cutting-Edge Monitoring Tech Ensures Air Quality and Health
There is no shortage of research papers highlighting the negative impacts of air pollution on humans and the environment. Everyone, including older adults and little children, suffers the adverse consequences of air pollution. As a result, it is essential to ensure one takes all possible measures to maintain good air quality in their environment. One good way to realize this goal is by monitoring ...

IFDM modelling for optimal siting of air quality monitoring stations around five oil refineries
An IFDM modelling study has been conducted to determine the optimal siting of air quality monitoring stations around five oil refineries. The purpose of this immission monitoring network is specified in environmental legislation. The most appropriate output parameter of the IFDM model for this study is the 98th percentile of the moving 24 h averages, P98,m24h. Modelling for the optimal siting of ...

Simple modelling approaches to assess the impact of traffic air pollution: Cordoba case study
From 1991 to 1999, there were significant commitments to environmental protection in Argentina. During this period, several important cities of the country, such as Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Mendoza, Bahia Blanca, and Ushuaia, began air quality monitoring programmes. Among these cities, we have taken Cordoba as a case study because of the existence of a continuous monitoring campaign that collected ...

Ambient Air Monitoring System: A Professor in Managing Air Quality
Air is a combination of gases with a constant percentage of each component. The appropriate balance of gases in the air is critical for living creatures. When dangerous elements, i.e., pollutants, are added to the air, the composition of the air changes. Air pollution has a lot of negative health effects. The Air Quality Monitoring System reduces the number of pollutants to a safe level. This ...

Near-field geometry effects on urban street canyon measurements for model validation
Selection of numerical urban pollution dispersion models for regulatory purposes entails reliable prior validation against either physical modelling or field measurements. It is shown that an asymmetric geometry of the urban street canyon, in which measurement takes place, induces persistent gradients in pollution dispersion within it, irrespective of the wind vector meandering above the roofs. ...

Study of the properties of Aerosols and the air quality index Using a Backscatter Lidar System and Aeronet Sunphotometer in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil
Between the months of July and September of 2007 during the so-called Brazilian dry season, an aerosol profiling campaign was carried out with a backscatter(ing) lidar system in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The main goal of this campaign was to observe the aerosol load in the troposphere (up to 10 km) and its daily behavior to check for air dispersion conditions, planetary boundary, and mixed ...

Methodology for developing an air quality index (AQI) for Tunisia
Air quality index (AQI) is a quantitative tool through which air pollution data can be reported, providing information on how clean or polluted the air is. Several countries employ some type of air quality index to communicate the quality of their air. Some of these systems rely on relating measured (monitored) or predicted concentrations of air pollutants (results of modelling system). In this ...

Internal Air Quality and Sustainability
At the end of 2021, the UK government announced it’s Net Zero Strategy, which outlines how the UK will reach its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. Part of this is a Heat and buildings strategy, in recognition that decarbonising both homes and commercial, industrial and public sector buildings is a large part of reaching that target. You may be wondering what this has to do with air ...

Combined use of space–borne observations of NO2 and regional CTM model for air quality monitoring in Northern Italy
In this paper SCIAMACHY observations of earth radiance are used to retrieve nitrogen dioxide (NO2) tropospheric column by DOAS spectrometric technique and radiative transfer modelling for AMF computation. These satellite column measurements are then merged with TCAM model simulations, to improve the model output at the ground level. The method used is a weighted rescaling of the model column in ...
