Air Quality Sensor
The Technology We Use
Prana Air – air pollution monitors are packed with durable air quality sensor that infuses modern and accredited technology to measure air pollutants.
| Pollutant | Type of Sensor | Operating Principle |
|---|---|---|
| Particulate Matter (PM10, 2.5 & 1) | Optical 90˚ Light Scattering | The light that strikes the aperture of the mirror at 90° is reflected towards the sensor. The photodiode registers pulse for as long as the light is reflected. Electrical signal thus received is converted into concentration of particulate matter. |
| CO2 | Non-Dispersive Infrared Sensors(NDIR) | When infrared (IR) radiation interacts with gas molecules, the gas molecules absorb the light at a particular wavelength, causing vibration of the gas molecules. The sensors detect the reduction in transmitted IR light which proportionate to gas concentration. |
| TVOC | Metal Oxide Sensors(MOS) | When semiconductor particles are heated in air at a high temperature, oxygen is adsorbed on the particle surface by capturing free electrons. A depletion layer is formed which is dependent on the radius of the semiconductor. The depletion can extend up to the whole area of each particle. |
| Toxic Gases (CO, O3, NOx, SOx, H2S & C2H5OH) | Electrochemical Sensors | These are amperometric fuel cells with two electrodes. When the toxic gas comes in contact with the working electrode, the gas will get oxidized on the working electrode through chemical reaction with water molecules in the air. |

Air Quality Management System
Air is vital to all living beings. It is the basic necessity that sustains life on this planet. Everybody has a right to breathe pure air. However, the population explosion and fast-paced urbanization have worsened the air quality over the last few decades. This decline in the air quality has left people around the globe gasping for breath. Therefore, there is an emerging need for efficient air quality management practices.
An Air Quality Management System is a comprehensive scheme of abating air pollution. It includes the effective monitoring of the parameters that impact and steer the air quality of an environment (indoor or outdoor). Monitoring is instrumental in identifying the chief pollutants in that environment, and thus, in chalking out a precise and holistic management plan to combat air pollution. Hence, air quality monitoring becomes the prime factor that enables us to breathe fresh and pure air.
Common air pollutants that render the air surrounding us unbreathable are particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). However, some parameters that drive the indoor and outdoor air differ from each other due to the difference in the sources of the pollutants. Thus, the permissible limits for air pollutants are also different for indoor and outdoor environments. These standards may also vary or can be relaxed depending on factors, such as country, availability of sources, etc.

Types of Air Quality Monitoring
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Outdoor Air is also called ambient air. Ambient Air Monitoring is one of the main aspects that determine environmental stability. Air pollution does not only harm us, but it is also detrimental to the ecology and the atmospheric chemistry of the earth. Meteorological factors also alter and impact air quality. Thus, outdoor air monitoring is essential.
Sources of Ambient Air Pollution
A blend of natural and anthropogenic (human-induced) sources are responsible for releasing harmful air toxins. Natural sources include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, sea spray, landslides, weathering of soil, pollination, wind-storms, etc., release considerable concentrations of air pollutants. Typical anthropogenic sources of air pollution are the emissions from various modes of transport, construction and demolition, burning of waste, agricultural activities, oil and gas production, exhaust from chimneys, industrial activities, etc. Human activities also exacerbate some of the naturally-caused emissions.
- PM !
Particulate Matter
PM is the abbreviation for particulate matter (also called particulates). It includes a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air, or simply aerosols. They vary in size. Some particles, such as dirt, smoke, fly ash, mists, condensing vapors, mist, soot, or dust, are conspicuous enough to be visible with the naked eye. Others are so tiny that they can only be detected with the help of an electron microscope things into perspective, PM2.5 is almost 1/30th of the size of a human hair! These include the dust, dirt, and smoke.
Sources:
These particles originate from both natural and anthropogenic (human) activity.– Primary: Industrial processes, combustion, agricultural activities, construction and demolition, unpaved roads, windblown dust, smokestacks, and forest fires.
– Secondary: Other air pollutants, like NOx, SOx, and VOCs, that act as precursors for the formation of PM in the atmosphere.
- CO2 !
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide CO2 occurs naturally from the atmosphere. It’s an essential ingredient in photosynthesis, the method by which plants produce food and energy. Degrees of carbon dioxide have grown since the Industrial Revolution.
Sources:
– The principal causes are deforestation and the burning of all fossil fuels such as coal.
– Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release and respiration.
- NO2!
Nitrogen Dioxide
Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 is traceable in the ambient air in the form of seven oxides. It is formed upon oxidation of nitric oxide in the atmosphere. In its liquid form, nitrogen dioxide is colourless to brown.
Sources: Combustion sources are mostly responsible for the release of nitrogen dioxide. Vehicular emissions is its principal outdoor source. Power plants, industrial boilers, and diesel-powered heavy construction equipment are some other sources of this gas.
– Natural sources include volcanoes and bacteria.
- SO2!
Sulfur Dioxide
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is a colourless, soluble gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is highly reactive in nature, and can react with other pollutants in the air to form fine particulate matter.
Sources: This gas is produced mainly from the combustion of sulphur-containing fossil fuel, such as coal and oil (eg, coal being burnt in a home fireplace for heating and diesel-powered vehicles). The chief sources of sulphur dioxide are industrial boilers, power plants, and other industrial processes like metal processing (Aluminium smelting and manufacturing of steel) and petroleum refining. Diesel engines are another key source, including old buses and trucks, locomotives, ships, and off-road diesel equipment.
– Natural sources include geothermal activity.
- O3 !
Ozone
Ozone (O3) is a form of oxygen. Three atoms of oxygen bind together to form gaseous ozone. Ozone is considered a pollutant when its concentration in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) increases beyond the stipulated limit. Direct exposure of the living with the ground-level ozone (GLO) is very harmful.
Sources:
– There is no source on the surface of the Earth that directly emits ozone, which means that it does not occur naturally. It is formed as the result of a photochemical reaction between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The pollutants emitted by vehicles, power plants, industrial boilers and precipitators, refineries, chemical industries, and others react in the presence of sunlight to form ozone in the atmosphere.
- CO!
Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) — a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and toxic air pollutant—is produced in the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, coal, and wood.
Sources:
– Water heaters
– Furnaces or boilers
– Fireplaces, both gas and wood burning
– Stoves (Wood and gas based) and ovens
– Tobacco smoke
Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
We typically spend almost 90% of our day indoors, whether at our home, office, gym, or other indoor set-ups. We assume we are the safest at our homes.
The indoor air quality can be more toxic as compared to ambient air quality. The concentrations of a few air pollutants can be 2 to 5 times higher than their typical outdoor levels. What’s dreadful is that indoor air pollution influences the overall well-being of the people living in that environment. Having substandard indoor air quality compromises the health of the occupants of a building, putting you and your loved ones in jeopardy. Indoor Air Quality is both a comfort and a health parameter. Thus, monitoring becomes a necessity.
Sources of Indoor Air Pollution
The indoor sources of pollution mostly include combustion of fuel-based materials and the use of household chemicals. Activities like cooking, burning of candles and incense sticks, painting, dusting, use of deodorants, etc. affect the indoor air quality. However, due to constricted space and clutter, the pollutants stay trapped in the indoor environment. This entrapment creates the pertinent problem of indoor air pollution.
- PM !
Particulate Matter
Particulate Matter (PM) is the suspended microscopic aerosol (solid or liquid) particles present in the air. PM 10 and PM2.5 are smaller than 10 micrometres and 2.5 micrometres in diameter respectively, out of which PM2.5 is respirable. To put things into perspective, PM 2.5 is almost 1/30th of the size of a human hair! These include the dust, dirt, and smoke.
Sources:
– Infiltration via doors, windows & walls (fenestration).
– Activities like cooking, combustion, cigarette smoking.
- CO2 !
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide CO2 is a colorless gas with a density about 53% higher than that of dry air. Its molecules consist of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms.
Sources:
– Human sources come from activities like cement production, deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas.
– Natural sources include decomposition, ocean release and respiration.
- HCHO !
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound with the formula CH₂O. The pure compound is a pungent-smelling colourless gas that polymerises spontaneously into paraformaldehyde, hence it is stored as an aqueous solution.
Sources:
– Sources of formaldehyde in the home include building materials, smoking, household products, and the use of un-vented, fuel-burning appliances, like gas stoves or kerosene space heaters.
- TVOC !
Total Volatile
Organic CompoundsWe use a lot of chemicals that vaporize upon exposure to air. Such compounds are called volatile compounds.
Sources:
– Released through everyday household products like: vinegar, nail polish, varnish, deodrants, etc.
– Substances like Benzene, Ethanol, etc. can be found in paints, cleaner, detergents, sanitizers, kerosene, petrol, and polishes.
* Carcinogenic
- O3 !
Ozone
Ozone is nothing but a form of oxygen. Three atoms of oxygen bind together to form gaseous ozone. On ground, it is formed as the result of a photochemical reaction between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Sources:
– Activities like cooking, combustion, cigarette smoking.
- CO !
Carbon Monoxide
The greatest sources of CO to outdoor air are cars, trucks and other vehicles or machinery that burn fossil fuels. A variety of items in your home such as unvented kerosene and gas space heaters, leaking chimneys and furnaces, and gas stoves also release CO and can affect air quality indoors.
Sources:
– Sources of carbon monoxide in homes include gas stoves, leaking furnaces, car exhaust from attached garages, and space heaters.
