Major Air Pollutants
The variety of air pollutants inside an airport is very wide. If ignored, they can seriously affect passengers, staff and people residing near the airport. This is why air monitoring in and around airports is essential. A real-time system helps airport authorities estimate the pollution from each source. It also helps them comply with the regulatory norms.
PM2.5
Fine breathable water and dust particles
CO2
Heavy passenger footfall
TVOC
Carpets, disinfectants, room fresheners, etc.
Oxides (NOx, SOx)
Oxides emitted during airport operations
Viruses & Bacteria
Diseases carried by passengers
Noise
Loud noise owing to the huge crowd
Who Is at Risk?
Heavy passenger footfall is one of the major reasons for poor air inside airports. Air pollution puts certain groups at higher risk. These include people with underlying health issues, senior citizens, children and other sensitive groups. Even healthy adults can fall sick after breathing poor air.
Underlying Health Issues
Passengers and staff with a breathing problem already have weaker lungs.
Security Staff
Airport security personnel also breathe the polluted air present inside the premises.
Staff
Staff members may lose focus, perform poorly and fall ill more often.
Passengers
Even healthy passengers may feel uneasy or get headaches and so on.
PM2.5
Heart and lung disorders due to breathing in particles
CO2
People face breathing difficulty, nausea and convulsions
Noise
Stress, anxiety, high BP and headache caused by noise
Oxides
Coughing, choking, tiredness, etc. are seen on exposure
Virus & Bacteria
Infections are common on exposure to viruses and bacteria
TVOC
Headache and irritation in the eyes, nose and throat

Zero operational or recurring expenses
How Is LoRa Different from Wi-Fi Connectivity?
| Specifications | Wi-Fi | LoRa |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Range | Up to 30 m (approx.) | Up to 5000 m (5 km) |
| 2. Gateway | Can connect only a few devices. | Can connect up to 2000 nodes. |
| 3. Configuration | Has to be set up again whenever the Wi-Fi password is changed | No such requirement |
| 4. Data Accessibility | Cloud storage | Local network or cloud storage |
| 5. Power Consumption | Very high | Very low |
| 6. Sustainable | No | Yes |
