Major Air Pollutants
The mix of air pollutants inside an airport is very broad, and left unchecked it can do real harm to passengers, staff and people who live close by. That is why air monitoring in and around airports is essential. A real-time system lets airport managers see how much pollution each source adds and helps them stay within the required standards.
PM2.5
Fine, breathable water and dust particles
CO2
High passenger occupancy
TVOC
Carpets, disinfectants, air fresheners and so on
Oxides (NOx, SOx)
Oxides given off during operations
Viruses & Bacteria
Illnesses carried in by passengers
Noise
Loud noise from large gatherings of people
Who Is at Risk?
High passenger numbers are one of the main reasons for poor air inside airports. Air pollution puts certain groups at greater risk, including people with underlying health conditions, the elderly, children and other sensitive groups. Even healthy adults can feel unwell after breathing poor air.
Underlying Health Conditions
Passengers and staff with a chest illness already have weaker lungs to begin with.
Security Staff
Airport security staff breathe the same polluted air within the premises.
Staff
Staff may lose focus, perform less well and fall ill more often.
Passengers
Even healthy passengers may feel uncomfortable or develop headaches.
PM2.5
Heart and lung disorders brought on by breathing in particles
CO2
Difficulty breathing, nausea and convulsions
Noise
Stress, anxiety, high blood pressure and headaches
Oxides
Coughing, choking, tiredness and more once exposed
Virus & Bacteria
Infections are common after contact with viruses and bacteria
TVOC
Headaches, along with sore eyes, nose and throat
