Factors that shape air quality in Smart Cities

Traffic, industry, building work, vehicle emissions, waste disposal and the weather can all change the level of air pollution in a city.

PM2.5 particles in city air
Particulate Matter PM2.5 is made of fine particles no more than 2.5 micrometres in diameter. City sources of these particles are varied. They range from vehicle emissions and industrial processes to building sites and the burning of fossil fuels.
CO gas in city air
Carbon monoxide (CO) comes from fossil fuels that burn only partly, most often in vehicles. Heavy traffic and clogged roads are the main sources of carbon monoxide emissions in urban areas.
NO2 gas in city air
Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 is mostly released when fossil fuels burn in vehicles and power plants. In cities, heavy traffic congestion is a big source of NO2 emissions. Factories and homes that burn fossil fuels for heating can give off nitrogen dioxide into the air as well.
SO2 gas in city air
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is given off mainly when power plants and industrial sites burn coal and oil. In urban areas, vehicles fitted with diesel engines can also add to SO2 emissions. Beyond that, some industrial processes, like smelting and refining, release sulphur dioxide straight into the air.
ozone gas in city air
Ground-level Ozone (O3) does not come straight from a source. It forms when pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react in sunlight. In urban areas, most of these precursor pollutants come from vehicle emissions.

Health Impacts

Polluted city air can do serious harm to human health, the environment and the economy. In the short term, exposure can cause breathing problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Over many years, it can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and premature death.

Frequently Asked Questions Smart City Clean Air Solutions Explained

Got questions? We're glad to help.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project is a full end-to-end solution. It combines air quality monitors, air quality drones, outdoor air purifiers and data dashboards so cities can improve their air. The project is set up to help cities meet air quality standards, protect public health and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project delivers a range of benefits. These include:

1. Improved air quality: Cities get real-time data on air quality levels, plus targeted actions that cut pollution. Together, these help improve the air.

2. Protected public health: Citizens are kept up to date on air quality levels and are warned when conditions become unhealthy. This protects public health.

3. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: The project pushes for cleaner fuels and technologies, which can help bring greenhouse gas emissions down.

An air quality monitor is a device that tracks the levels of many pollutants in the air. These include particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Prana Air's advanced air quality monitors report real-time data on each of these pollutants.

The air quality drone is a smart new tool for gathering air quality data at various heights and places. It carries sensors, flies over areas of interest and brings back useful data on how air quality varies and shifts from place to place.

Prana Air outdoor air purifiers are units made to filter and clean the air in open spaces such as parks, streets and public areas. By lowering the amount of harmful pollutants, they make the outdoors healthier for everyone.

Prana Air with AQI offers data dashboards that lay out air quality data in a simple, readable format. The dashboards work on many kinds of screens: TV sets, LED displays, mobile/tablet apps and the website. All of them give real-time updates on air quality levels and trends over time.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project runs on real-time data about air quality levels. The data is sent to a central data server, where it is analysed and then displayed on data dashboards. If air quality hits an unhealthy level in any area, the same data can set off alerts.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project can benefit many groups of people, such as: 1. Citizens: can use the data to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing. It also helps them hold elected officials to account on improving air quality. 2. Businesses: can use the data to work out how air pollution affects their operations and to find ways to cut their emissions. 3. Government officials: can use the data to design and put in place policies that improve air quality. 4. Researchers: can use the data to study how air pollution affects health and to develop new tech that reduces pollution.

The data dashboards offer practical insights into air quality trends and pollution levels. Cities and communities can then make informed decisions on urban planning, traffic management, public health programs and much more. In the end, it all aims at one thing: cleaner air.

Yes, the Prana Air with AQI mobile/tablet apps are simple to use and open to everyone in the general public. They keep people informed about the air quality around them day to day, so they can take the right precautions to protect their health and wellbeing.

Prana Air builds its monitoring devices with advanced sensor technology and tunes them with care so they stay accurate. Regular upkeep and quality checks keep the air quality data reliable and precise over time.

Yes, the Prana Air project can be shaped around the specific needs of different cities and communities. The solutions are customised to match each location's own air quality challenges and its goals for cleaner air.
