Augmenting air quality monitoring networks

An Air Quality Monitoring Station (AQMS) is a system that measures metrological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, radiation, temperature, barometric pressure and ambient parameters. The AQMS also integrates a series of ambient analyzers to monitor the concentration of air pollutants (such as SO2, NOx, CO, O3, THC, PM, etc.), continuously. HORIBA also provides mobile monitoring stations that can be used to monitor ambient conditions at multiple sites. Air quality monitoring refers to continuous measurement of specific air pollutants also known as "criteria air pollutants". Obtained air pollution data together with natural background/trace gas monitoring and stationary source emission monitoring helps to define what kind of air pollution people are exposed to.

HORIBA has more than 50 years of experience providing ambient monitoring solutions, recognized around the world. HORIBA has supplied over 15,000 units with the major share in many regions. The monitoring station is tailor-made according to the customer's request. HORIBA can provide several types of stations, calibration equipment and more to meet your challenging monitoring requirements.

The measured data can be remotely monitored and exported in various formats to the local central authorities. The data can be published via the Internet for easy public access to raise awareness on current air pollution levels. This way, the public can prevent outdoor activities and reduce health impacts during heavily polluted days
