Major Air Pollutants
Airports carry a wide mix of air pollutants, and if they go unchecked, passengers, staff and nearby residents can all feel the effects. So air monitoring in and around the airport is a must for every operator. A real-time system lets airport operators measure the pollution from each source and stay within the required standards at all times.
PM2.5
Fine, breathable dust and moisture particles
CO2
Large volumes of passengers
TVOC
Carpets, disinfectants, air fresheners and similar
Oxides (NOx, SOx)
Oxides emitted during day-to-day operations
Viruses & Bacteria
Illnesses brought in by travellers
Noise
Loud noise from big crowds
Who Is at Risk?
Large passenger numbers are a major reason for poor air inside airports. Some groups are more at risk from air pollution than others, including people with underlying health issues, older people, kids and other sensitive groups. Even healthy adults can feel crook after breathing poor air.
Underlying Health Issues
Passengers and staff with a lung condition already have weaker lungs.
Security Staff
Airport security staff cop the same polluted air inside the premises.
Staff
Staff may lose focus, perform worse and get sick more often.
Passengers
Even healthy passengers can end up feeling uneasy or getting headaches.
PM2.5
Heart and lung problems caused by breathing in particles
CO2
Breathing trouble, nausea and convulsions
Noise
Stress, anxiety, high blood pressure and headaches from noise
Oxides
Coughing, choking and tiredness after exposure
Virus & Bacteria
Infections spread readily through viruses and bacteria
TVOC
Headaches and sore eyes, nose and throat
Air quality Solutions
Air travel is growing quickly, which makes tracking and controlling air pollution in and around airports essential. Prana Air air monitoring and air cleaning solutions give you a clear picture of what passengers and staff are breathing, so you can analyse IAQ in the terminal and on board.
Air Quality Monitoring via Wi-Fi or GSM
Prana Air delivers smart indoor air quality monitors that come with both Wi-Fi and GSM.

Standout Features of LoRa
Wireless communication
Links up to 2000 nodes
IoT technology
Local area connectivity
Signal reach of up to 5 km
Easy to set up
Local server operation
No ongoing or recurring expenses
How LoRa Stacks Up Against Wi-Fi
| Specifications | Wi-Fi | LoRa |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Range | Up to 30 m (approx.) | Up to 5000 m (5 km) |
| 2. Gateway | Links only a small number of devices. | Links up to 2000 nodes. |
| 3. Configuration | Has to be set up again if the Wi-Fi password changes | Not required |
| 4. Data Accessibility | Cloud storage | Local network or cloud storage |
| 5. Power Consumption | Very high | Very low |
| 6. Sustainable | No | Yes |
