Major Air Pollutants
The range of air pollutants inside an airport is very wide. If neglected, they can badly affect passengers, staff and the residents living nearby. Air monitoring in and around airports is therefore essential. A real-time system lets airport authorities gauge how much pollution each source adds. It also helps them comply with the required standards.
PM2.5
Fine breathable particles of water and dust
CO2
High passenger density
TVOC
Carpets, disinfectants, air fresheners and the like
Oxides (NOx, SOx)
Oxides released in the course of operations
Viruses & Bacteria
Diseases brought in by passengers
Noise
Loud noise generated by dense crowds
Who Is at Risk?
High passenger density is one of the main reasons for poor air inside airports. Air pollution puts certain groups at greater risk. These include people with existing health conditions, the elderly, children and other sensitive groups. Even healthy adults may feel unwell after breathing poor air.
Existing Health Conditions
Passengers and staff with a chest condition already have weaker lungs.
Security Staff
Airport security personnel breathe the same polluted air within the premises.
Staff
Staff may lose focus, perform less well and fall ill more easily.
Passengers
Even healthy passengers may feel discomfort, headaches and similar symptoms.
PM2.5
Heart and lung disorders arising from breathing in particles
CO2
Breathing difficulty, nausea and convulsions
Noise
Stress, anxiety, raised blood pressure and headaches from noise
Oxides
Coughing, choking, tiredness and similar effects upon exposure
Virus & Bacteria
Infections occur often upon contact with viruses and bacteria
TVOC
Headaches, together with sore eyes, nose and throat
Air quality Solutions
Air travel continues to expand rapidly. Tracking and controlling air pollution in and around airports has become essential. Prana Air air monitoring and air cleaning solutions equip you to know what your passengers and staff breathe. You can also analyse the IAQ in the terminal and on board.

LoRa-Based Air Quality Monitoring
LoRa is a modern wireless standard. It is built to send data a long way on very little power. LoRa is short for Long Range and it is designed mainly for IoT networks. It allows a large number of devices to share one network.
Notable Features of LoRa
Wireless communication
Takes up to 2000 nodes
IoT technology
Local area connectivity
Signal coverage up to 5 km
Simple installation
Local server operation
No operating or recurring charges
LoRa versus Wi-Fi: What Is the Difference?
| Specifications | Wi-Fi | LoRa |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Range | Up to 30 m (approx.) | Up to 5000 m (5 km) |
| 2. Gateway | Takes only a few devices. | Takes up to 2000 nodes. |
| 3. Configuration | Needs to be set up again whenever 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 |
