Real-time wildfire monitoring

The number of extreme wildfire events will increase up to 14% by 2030. Monitoring fires in real time becomes more and more important to reduce health risks and take immediate actions if high-level pollutant concentrations are detected. 

Workers for a major group were exposed to outdoor conditions in warehouses with constant in/out traffic. The company wanted to ensure OSHA/Cal wildfire regulation compliance with AQI for PM2.5 less than 150, to protect workers, while also preventing loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour in business interruption.

Our partner and integrator of Ecomesure’s solution, SGS Galson, installed hundreds of units with particle measurement sensors across over 50 facilities, to ensure workers were working under healthy conditions. Safe working conditions at the facilities were exhibited, minimizing employee concerns and maximizing logistical operations without disruption.

Parents in a Los Angeles school district became worried about remnant pollutant emissions students may be exposed to from burnt foliage remnants from the 2018 wildfires. SGS Galson installed over a dozen units surrounding the schools of concern for several months. Sensors were equipped with CO, CO₂, H₂S, PM_2.5 and PM_10.  The school system was able to assure student and faculty safety.
