Case Study

Prana Air is the proud associate of the pioneering initiative by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to monitor the air pollution due to stubble burning on ground zero. We designed PM monitors for real-time monitoring of the particulate concentration released during stubble burning in a bid to seek trends of deterioration in air quality and subsequently motivate the farmers to opt for eco-friendly alternatives.

Background 

It is well-known that stubble burning is one of the primary causes of pollution in the Indian northern plains. Burning of the crop residues is a common practice that farmers undertake in the winter season to compensate for the short duration available between rice harvesting and wheat sowing. The farmers of Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi have been adopting this technique, being oblivious of the trouble it creates. Combustion of this residue releases particulate matter in large concentrations. These particulates are so tiny that these can travel longer distances. Thus, it exacerbates air pollution in these states as well as those in the vicinity. Stubble burning renders the air quality hazardous and contributes up to 40% to the infamous winter pollution in Delhi alone. Several authorities have been trying to mitigate air pollution due to stubble burning since it is exponentially rising for the last few years.

Challenge

Particulate matter is not only detrimental to the environment but also hazardous to human health. Excess concentration or prolonged exposure to these tiny particles adversely affects the respiratory tract, heart, and even the brain! In a bid to control the rising winter pollution, CII adopted over 100 villages and 100,000 acres of farm area in Punjab and Haryana to enable zero stubble burning.

CII wanted to monitor the impact of these technologies on the emission rates. They also wanted to procure real-time trends of the deterioration in air quality due to stubble burning. For this purpose, they required instruments to keep a tab on the particulate emissions. They also wanted a simple and easy-to-use dashboard for the remote collation of data from multiple villages simultaneously. Their pioneering vision also included a continuous study of the pollution-patterns. Moreover, alerting the farmers about the harm this technique could do.

The Solution

Prana Air – Air Quality Monitor Installation In Punjab & Haryana

Prana Air catered to their requirements and delivered instruments that were both affordable and accessible. We successfully delivered the instruments with the plug-and-play operation to monitor the levels of particulate matter. The monitors were embedded with GSM chips to enable the transmission of remote data to a dashboard.

CII installed the monitors in the villages of their choice in the states of Punjab and Haryana, and has been successfully monitoring the concentration of particulate matter. They are also continuously procuring the data to study the air pollution due to stubble burning. This has been instrumental in motivating the farmers to opt for environment-friendly alternatives, and thus creating a positive difference.
