Global air travel has increased tremendously over the last decade. Airports contribute directly and indirectly to air pollution through activities like construction, vehicle traffic, and operations. Common pollutants produced include carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and secondary pollutants that can cause pulmonary diseases and affect health and visibility. To monitor air quality, smart airports deploy sensors to continuously measure pollutants and integrate the data with weather monitoring. This allows them to plan mitigation strategies, issue warnings, and ensure safer operations while working towards a more sustainable future.

2. Global air travel has increased
tremendously in the last decade with
easier domestic and intercontinental
travel.
According to the World Bank, 4.233 billion
passengers globally travelled through
airplanes.

3. Activities like:
- Construction of airports
- Taxiing
- Constant vehicular activities caused by
taxis, buses, and private vehicles
- Landings and take-offs, etc.
Fugitive dust emissions are caused due to
dust storms or long-distance dust
dispersions.

4. The most common pollutants are:
- carbon monoxide
- unburnt hydrocarbons
- nitrogen oxides
- particulate matter
- secondary pollutants such as ground-
level ozone and smog.
Severely deteriorated air quality causes
various pulmonary diseases, reduces
visibility, and affects the physical and
mental health of the nearby citizens.

AIRPORT AIR QUALITY MONITORING FOR SMART AIRPORTS
A network of ambient air monitoring
devices such as Oizom’s PolludroneTM
is deployed at the runways and periphery
of the airport to continuously monitor the
concerned pollutants.

The airport is turned into a ‘smart and
efficient airports’ through automated
indoor air ventilation, automated dust
suppressors, road surface conditions, etc.
Mitigation strategies can be easily planned
through airport monitoring for emission
reduction, engine modifications, fuel
alternatives, etc.

8. Warnings can be issued through display
screens and mobile alerts about poor air
quality.
Visibility monitoring through particulate
monitoring integrated with weather data
measured by Oizom’s WeathercomTM
ensures safer landings and take-offs.
Dispersion modeling can be carried out.
