The selection of air quality monitors plays an elemental role in preparing preventive and protective action plans on regional as well as global scales. OIZOM’s proprietary ‘e-breathing technology’ ensures higher accuracy. It provides meteorological data such as wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, flood levels, and visibility along with pollutant levels. Such a holistic approach yields superior data in terms of both consistency and quality. The e-breathing technology further eradicates external environmental disturbances to the process. This results in a 13% higher accuracy compared to industry standards.

The selection of air quality monitors plays an
elemental role in preparing preventive and
protective action plans on regional as well as
global scales.
As the number of non attainment cities across
the cities,that is, ones which fails to comply
with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)
standards, monitoring becomes even more
crucial.
The National Clean Air Programme has listed
122 non-attainment cities across the country. To
understand the extent of these pollution levels,
monitoring is a crucial step.

OIZOM’s proprietary ‘e-breathing technology’ ensures
higher accuracy. It provides meteorological data such as
wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, flood levels, and visibility
along with pollutant levels.
Furthermore, there is a provision for attaching external
modules to monitor flood, rainfall, and wind speed, however,
these are optional and will depend on the need of the user.
The integrated and hyperlocal data collection approach of
Polludrone is, therefore, designed for deployment in a
network, for monitoring in and around cities.

The primary features which are to be included whilst selecting
an air quality monitoring system are introduced in an array of
themes;
1. Installation and Operational Ease
A compact system with easy startup, that is, just plugin, and the
operation begins.
1. Reliability
A 3 level calibration approach is, therefore, part of the standard
procedure.
1. Accessibility
Real-time data is visualized through graphs and time series charts.
1. Flexibility
Compatibility with multiple connectivity options (GSM / WiFi / LoRa /
NBIoT / Ethernet)

5. Key Functions of an Air Quality Monitoring System

An efficient air quality monitoring system
should be able to provide reliable and
accurate data.
This will further depend on the due
diligence of the calibration process.
Additionally, real time monitoring is an
important facet for eradicating the lapses
in data accuracy associated with passive
sampling methods.

6. Key Differences in Variant Applications

The different variants of Polludrone i.e Lite, Smart and Pro have to be selected depending on the end
use of data products.
1. PM 1 data monitoring by Polludrone Pro
2. Polludrone Smart and Pro provide CO, UV-Radiation, and NOx data which are potential
ground-level ozone precursors.
3. Generally, ambient air quality parameters do not include Carbon Dioxide. However, with rising
concerns over warmer climates followed by thorough scientific assessments from the IPCC,
CO2 monitoring has gained momentum.
