Oizom provides air quality monitors and environmental monitoring solutions to help smart cities achieve their goals of sustainable development and a high quality of life. Their compact, real-time sensors identify pollution hotspots and major sources to inform decision-making. Case studies show how Oizom's monitors in cities like Surat, Gandhinagar, and Agra helped locate emissions sources and engage the public, while solutions in Varanasi and Kakinada addressed specific challenges of increased tourism and urbanization. Oizom aims to make hyperlocal environmental data accessible to empower citizens and communities in tackling pollution problems.

3. Smart cities are developed with a vision of creating an advanced world. Where technology meets
sustainability. Where people get a better quality of life with a harmonious community living. Government
and people work hand-in-hand to make this happen.
One of the main aspects of a smart city is a clean and green environment. With continuous evolution in an
advanced way of living, man-made activities have been increasing at an exponential rate. These activities are
the primary reason for environmental degradation and create a need to keep the human-made pollution in
check.
Oizom realizes the gravity of the situation and has taken steps to act upon it. The real solution lies in getting
to the root of the problem, i.e., identifying the source of the pollution. The key to identifying sources is data.
By installing real-time air quality monitors at pollution hotspots we gather hyperlocal environmental data.
Creating hi-resolution real-time pollution heatmaps will give a clearer picture of the intensity and scale of air
pollution.

4. Smart Cities Environmental
Pillar
The smart cities council of India
states that the ‘Environmental’
pillar of Indian Smart cities stands
for:
Monitoring Climate Change:
Oizom Weathercom is a solution
to monitor minute changes in the
weather. Based on this
monitoring, the impact of
greenhouse gases on climate
change can be predicted with
better accuracy.

5. Smart Cities Environmental Pillar
Urban Air Pollution: The urban cities have air pollution coming majorly from vehicular emission, thermal
power plants, industries. Polludrone is working efficiently in monitoring these sources and their emissions to
quantify the pollution in the city’s environment in real-time.
Disaster Management: Oizom is successfully monitoring all weather parameters through Weathercom to
observe any nuances before they turn into hazards and send alerts. Such alerts can be used to warn citizens
through public announcement systems.
City Specific Monitoring: All smart cities have their own specific major issues to solve. Oizom offers
customized solutions to each city. Some cities like Delhi may have excessive air pollution. Another Oizom
product Odosense measures harmful gases in the environment which is useful in industrial areas and also for
landfills and dump yards in cities like Mumbai. Excessive dust is another problem in cities having mines and
quarries and Oizom Dustroid takes care of that by monitoring all particulate matter in the air.

6. Some of the issues of manual air quality monitors are:
Data acquisition and analytics: The system is manually operated and data acquisition is possible only after
weeks. On-time assessment of pollution scenarios is not possible through manual systems, delaying data
analytics and decision-making processes.
Accuracy & drift: Weather factors like temperature and humidity have adverse effects on sensor sensitivity.
The sensors become less sensitive for measuring chronic pollution owing to smaller particulate in the air.
Also, the measuring capability of the sensors tends to degrade with time, especially when exposed to
extreme ambient conditions for a longer period.
Scalability: Manual air quality monitors are huge and bulky. It’s not possible to install them at every place.
The constraint restricts ubiquitous air monitoring, which is highly needed today.

Oizom’s solution to tackling air pollution in smart cities
Oizom aimed for a ‘one-solution-for-all’ technique to combat the situation in smart cities. Polludrone’s Active
Sampling Technology ensures the highest environmental data accuracy. Here are some of the highlighted
Oizom device’s features.
Compact in Size: Oizom devices are compact in size and easy to install. The compact devices comprise
multiple sensors for sensing various pollutants like particulate matter, harmful gases, and weather
parameters.
Real-time data connectivity: Oizom equipment can monitor and send data on the visualization platform in
real-time or near real-time bases. The data frequency can be easily configured remotely
Advance data Analytics Platform: Oizom’s IoT data platform offers various data analytics and accessibility
features. Detecting pollution hotspots and major pollutants helps the authorities take correct and calculated
decisions, evaluating the scale of the pollution.
8. Data Accuracy: Oizom systems are powered by advanced algorithms to eliminate the effect of cross-
sensitivity and environmental changes. The sensors can be calibrated on-field or in labs to reset their
measurement ranges, drift errors, thus, ensuring the data accuracy.
Assisting policymakers: Through our data analytics and the suggestive solutions, we are helping the
policymakers and the governmental authorities to make instant decisions and prevent any human-made
catastrophe. They get a holistic approach and targeted solutions.
Scalability: The compact size and cost competitiveness enable Oizom equipment to create a dense network
of data points.

Oizom’s solution to tackling air pollution in smart cities
9. Surat
Increased influx of migrants in Surat
from different cities, rapid industrial
developments led to a rise in emissions.
Oizom Polludrone was installed on the
smart pole to collect air samples.
Pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, CO2,
CO, SO2, NO, NO2, O3, along with
temperature and humidity were
measured. The project helped in
identifying the main emission sources
and taking immediate action.

10. Gandhinagar
Oizom offered customized solutions
to study the pollution trend for
sustainable growth and public
awareness . The solution monitored
and analyzed particulate matters
PM2.5, PM10, and gases SO2, NO2,
CO, CO2, O3, and O2 in dynamic
weather conditions. The data helped
the government in successfully
awaring the public.

11. Agra
Agra is awarded the best smart city in
India but the crop burning and tourism
continue to increase the pollution level
significantly in the city. Installing
Polludrone gave open access to the
environmental data to the authorities. It
located the source of origin through
reverse modelling, allowing the
authorities to visualize the air quality in
real-time.

12. Varanasi
The infrastructural developments and
tourism in the city have increased
pollution in the city. Oizom provided an
end-to-end solution to both their
pollution and waste management
problems. Through the solution, the
effect of increased tourism can be
analyzed quantitatively and
qualitatively to establish a contingency
plan for tourism and waste generation.

13. Kakinada
The increased urbanization and
development have put more vehicles
on the road of the city and led to lack
of sanitation drive and inefficient data
on environmental conditions. With
Polludrone’s environmental data,
authorities can make policy changes to
build a sustainable smart city.
Kakinada authorities were able to
reduce the total environmental
monitoring cost by 50%.

14. To Conclude
IoT-driven environmental solutions have driven the environmental monitoring field to a new path. The new
effective, feasible, and affordable solution has enabled community monitoring. The smart cities need local
community monitoring for obtaining large and hyperlocal datasets. Getting a broader picture of the city
pollution helps in implementing a citywide solution. The true implementation of a Smart solution in a city is
considered when it is accessible by every citizen of the city. Oizom envisages creating an environment
understandable and predictable for the citizens so that they can take data-driven actions to mitigate and
abate the problem of pollution.
