What drives the air quality in Smart Cities

Many things shape the air pollution in a city: traffic, industry, building work, vehicle fumes, waste disposal and the weather.

PM2.5 pollutant over a city
Particulate Matter PM2.5 means fine particles that measure no more than 2.5 micrometres across. These tiny particles have many different sources within a city. They include vehicle fumes, factory work, building sites and the burning of fossil fuels.
CO pollutant over a city
Carbon monoxide (CO) comes from fossil fuels that burn only part of the way, mostly in vehicles. In towns and cities, heavy traffic and jammed roads give off most of the carbon monoxide in the air.
NO2 pollutant over a city
Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 comes largely from the fossil fuels burnt in vehicles and power stations. Heavy traffic jams in cities give off a great deal of NO2. Factories and homes that burn fossil fuels for heat can also release nitrogen dioxide into the open air.
SO2 pollutant over a city
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is given off mostly when power stations and factories burn coal and oil. In towns and cities, vehicles with diesel engines add to SO2 emissions as well. On top of this, certain industrial processes, such as smelting and refining, release sulphur dioxide straight into the air.
ozone pollutant over a city
Ground-level Ozone (O3) is not given off at source. Instead it forms when nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) meet in sunlight and react. Most of these precursor pollutants come from vehicle fumes in towns and cities.

Health Impacts

City air pollution can cause serious harm to human health, to the environment and to the economy. In the short term it may bring on breathing problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Over many years it can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and premature death.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smart City Clean Air Solutions

Got a question? We're happy to help.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project is one full answer to dirty city air. It supplies a city with air quality monitors, air quality drones, outdoor air purifiers and data dashboards. With these tools, the city can meet air quality standards, protect public health and bring greenhouse gas emissions down.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project brings with it a number of benefits, among them:

1. Improved air quality: Cities get live data on air quality levels. They can then take targeted steps that reduce pollution and clean up the air.

2. Protected public health: People learn what the air quality levels are, and a warning goes out whenever the air turns unhealthy. This helps to protect public health.

3. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: By promoting cleaner fuels and technologies, the project helps greenhouse gas emissions fall.

An air quality monitor measures how much of each pollutant sits in the air. Among them are particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), ozone (O3) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Prana Air supplies advanced air quality monitors that give live data on these pollutants.

With the air quality drone, air quality data can be gathered at many heights and in many places. The drone carries sensors, flies over any area of interest and sends back useful data on how air quality shifts and changes from place to place.

Prana Air outdoor air purifiers are built to filter and clean the air in open spaces like parks, streets and public areas. By cutting the level of harmful pollutants, these purifiers help make the outdoors healthier for all.

Prana Air with AQI provides data dashboards that show air quality information in a form anyone can follow. The dashboards reach people through several channels: TV screens, LED displays, mobile/tablet apps and the website. All of them give live updates on air quality levels and trends.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project works by gathering live data on air quality levels. The data goes to a central data server, where it is studied and then shown on data dashboards. It can also set off alerts when air quality in an area reaches unhealthy levels.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project can help a wide range of groups, such as: 1. Citizens: can draw on the data to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing, and to hold their elected officials to account for cleaner air. 2. Businesses: can use the data to gauge how air pollution affects their work and to plan ways of cutting their emissions. 3. Government officials: can rely on the data to shape and put in place rules that improve air quality. 4. Researchers: can use the data to study the health effects of air pollution and to create new tools for cutting pollution.

The data dashboards give clear insights into air quality trends and pollution levels. With them, cities and communities can make informed choices about town planning, traffic flow, public health schemes and much more. The aim in the end is always better air quality for all.

Yes, the Prana Air with AQI mobile/tablet apps are easy to use and open to anyone in the general public. They allow people to keep track of the air quality in their own area at any time, and to take the right steps to look after their health and wellbeing.

Prana Air relies on advanced sensor technology and careful tuning to keep its monitors accurate. Regular upkeep and quality checks are carried out as well, so the air quality data stays reliable and precise.

Yes, the Prana Air project is built to fit the exact needs of different cities and communities. The solutions can be shaped around the air quality challenges and the goals that are unique to each place.

Cities and organisations keen to take up the Prana Air smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project can contact the Prana Air team via the official website or other contact channels. The team will explain the solutions on offer and guide them through every step of the roll-out process.
