Factors behind air quality in Smart Cities

City air pollution levels are shaped by traffic, industry, building work, vehicle fumes, waste disposal and weather conditions.

PM2.5 levels in a city
Particulate Matter PM2.5 covers fine particles with a width of 2.5 micrometres or below. Cities make these tiny particles in a number of ways. The most common sources are vehicle fumes, factory work, building sites and the burning of fossil fuels.
CO levels in a city
Carbon monoxide (CO) results when fossil fuels burn only in part, largely in vehicles. Within cities, heavy traffic and choked roads are the major sources of carbon monoxide emissions in the air.
NO2 levels in a city
Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 arises mainly from fossil fuels burnt in vehicles and power plants. In cities, heavy traffic jams add a large share of NO2 emissions. Factory work and home heating with fossil fuels can also give off nitrogen dioxide into the city air around us.
SO2 levels in a city
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is given off chiefly by burning coal and oil in power plants and factories. Diesel-engine vehicles in urban areas can also add to SO2 emissions. In addition, some industrial processes, including smelting and refining, send sulphur dioxide straight into the open air as well.
ozone levels in a city
Ground-level Ozone (O3) is a secondary pollutant, not one given off directly. It is formed as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react in sunlight. Vehicle fumes in urban areas are the main source of these two precursors.

Health Impacts

The effects of city air pollution on human health, the environment and the economy can be very severe. Short spells of exposure to it may cause breathing problems like asthma and bronchitis. Long spells can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and premature death.

Frequently Asked Questions On Air Quality Solutions for Smart Cities

Any questions? We are here to help.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project is a single, complete package. Cities receive air quality monitors, air quality drones, outdoor air purifiers and data dashboards to help improve their air. The aim is to help cities meet air quality standards, protect public health and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project comes with a number of benefits:

1. Improved air quality: Cities gain live data on air quality levels. They can act on it with targeted steps that reduce pollution, so the air gets cleaner.

2. Protected public health: People are told what the air quality levels are, and they are warned when the air turns unhealthy. Public health is better protected as a result.

3. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: The project backs the use of cleaner fuels and technologies, which helps cut greenhouse gas emissions.

An air quality monitor gauges how much of each pollutant is present in the air at any time. It covers 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 provide live data on these pollutants.

The air quality drone is an inventive tool that gathers air quality data at many heights and places. Its sensors allow it to fly over areas of interest and report back on the way air quality shifts from one place to the next.

Prana Air outdoor air purifiers filter and clean the air in open spaces like parks, streets and public areas. These devices cut the level of harmful pollutants, which in turn makes the outdoors healthier for the public at large.

Prana Air with AQI offers data dashboards that show air quality data in a form that is simple for anyone to grasp. Access comes through TV screens, LED displays, mobile/tablet apps and the website. Each of them carries live updates on air quality levels and trends over time.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project collects live data on air quality levels. A central data server then takes in the data, studies it and shows it on data dashboards. The same data can also set off alerts once the air quality levels in a given area turn unhealthy.

Prana Air's smart city air quality monitoring and solutions project offers value to a wide range of groups and people: 1. Citizens: can use the data to make informed choices on their health and well-being, and to hold elected officials to account for better air quality. 2. Businesses: can use the data to measure how air pollution affects their work and to set out plans for cutting their emissions. 3. Government officials: can use the data to shape and carry out the rules for cleaner air. 4. Researchers: can use the data to examine the health effects of air pollution and to build new tools that lower pollution.

Clear insights into air quality trends and pollution levels come from the data dashboards. With them, cities and communities make informed choices on town planning, traffic flow, public health schemes and much more. The goal in the end is always better air quality for all.

Yes. The Prana Air with AQI mobile/tablet apps are simple to use by design and open to the general public. Users stay aware of the air quality in their surroundings, which helps them take the right steps to look after their own health and well-being.

Prana Air uses advanced sensor technology and strict tuning to keep its monitoring devices accurate over time. Planned upkeep and quality checks also help deliver air quality data that is reliable and precise.

Yes. The Prana Air project is designed to bend to the exact needs of each city and community. Its solutions can be tailored to the unique air quality challenges and goals found in every single location.
