- 6. Air monitoring in urban areas has become a necessity due to the exponential growth of cities. Emissions from increasingly dense vehicular and infrastructure activities are the major sources of air pollution in these areas and have completely changed the air quality characteristics of major cities around the world. Most of these cities still lack comprehensive air pollutant baseline data which is a major hurdle in formulating development strategies and infrastructure planning. Conventional air monitoring systems have severe limitations for creating spatial and temporal pollution maps because of their size and cost. Cities currently in need of air mapping require networks of low-cost air monitoring systems rather than measurements at just a few locations. The Advanced, Accurate and Affordable features of AirSENCE are the perfect fit for creating urban air mapping networks. Its small footprint, low initial cost of procurement, accuracy of results, ease of installation, operation and maintenance, and autonomous operation and data handling make it an ideal choice for urban air quality monitoring. Recommended Model: AirSENCE PRO Coal-based power plants continue to be operated on a massive scale around the world. They are major contributors to the world's air pollution because of the sheer volumes of coal they burn coupled with insufficient treatment of their emissions. Major air pollutants emitted to the atmosphere from coal-based thermal power plants are particulates, NOX and SOX. Particulate matter generated during coal combustion includes fly ash as well as fine particles of sulphate, nitrate, and un-combusted coal. Due to the great height of power plants stacks, severe effects of these emissions show up several kilometers downwind of these plants and can extend for several hundred kilometers. As a caaqMMS, AirSENCE provides real-time continuous measurements of all PM fractions and other gaseous pollutants along with essential weather parameters. Its unique features make it an ideal solution to monitor ambient air around thermal power stations. Since most of these plants are situated at remote locations, features like low cost of procurement, ease of installation, autonomous operation, low maintenance cost, remote data storage, accessibility of data on smartphone, and networking of devices make AirSENCE the best solution for this highly critical application.

- 8. Nowadays it has become essential to monitor air in and around mass commuting areas like airports, railway stations, and even seaports. Ambient air around any airport usually has high concentrations of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants like NO, NO2, and VOCs, which are emitted as a result of aircraft operation as well as transportation and fueling. These pollutants are able to infiltrate into airport terminals and severely affect the well-being of travelers and employees. High commuter turnouts also elevate CO2 and noise levels inside the terminals. AirSENCE, with sensors for all gaseous and PM pollutants combined with ambient noise sensing, provides a tailor-made solution for airport authorities to monitor external and internal air. The advanced features and accurate data of AirSENCE allow authorities to take immediate corrective actions. Railways and seaports also have remarkably high concentrations of particulate & noise pollution. Continuous movement of trains causes particulate matter to enter inside railway stations, while high commuter volumes, public address announcements, and train horns increase noise pollution and affect commuters adversely. Similarly for seaports, the continuous loading and unloading of ships generate substantial amounts of particulate pollution, as well as very high levels of noise coming from high decibel ship horns. Recommended Model: For Airports AirSENCE ELITE For Railway Stations & Seaports AirSENCE DUST-WATCH Various studies by well-known universities have explicitly shown that air pollution in schools is a major cause of poor performance and attendance of students since they spend much of their time on school premises.
