All you need to know about Particulate Matter - PM100Oizom
Hi. Welcome to OIZOM Academy. Lets begin with All you need to know about PM1.
Particulate Matter is not a single air pollutant, but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of varying shape, size, and chemical composition. They are composed of various chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc.
As the impact of particulate matter exposure on human health directly depends on the size of the particles, they are classified by their diameter for air quality regulatory purposes.
The particles with a diameter of 100 μm or less are collectively known as PM100. Examples include wood particles, dust, etc.
PM100 are directly emitted from sources such as such as wind-blown dust from open land, pollen, spores, mold, dirt, soil erosion, and forest fires, Burning fossil fuels, dust emission from unpaved roads, crushing and grinding, or other such uncontrolled construction activities, etc
PM100 can enter the nose or mouth while breathing and get deposited in the air passages of the body. They may cause adverse health effects such as by allergic reactions, heart diseases, silicosis, etc
Short term exposure to PM100 can aggravate already present respiratory diseases such as asthma while long term exposure can affect respiratory mortality.
.
PM100 in the atmosphere causes visible air pollution affecting the aesthetics of the surrounding environment.
PM100 monitoring is an efficient way to detect high concentrations of particulate matter and prevent high-level exposures.
Different working principles for monitoring particulate matter of all sizes in the ambient environment are Gravimetric, TOEM, Beta Attenuation, and Laser scattering.
Oizom’ PM sensor works on the Active Sampling method of laser scattering that counts particulate matter using a highly accurate laser beam.
Oizom’s Dustroid is an online particulate monitoring system that measures the concentration of various particulate sizes ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns such as PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and PM100 in the ambient air.
Dustroid can be used for dust monitoring in areas with dust-laden activities like construction, mining, quarrying, ports, metallurgical processes, and many more. Real-time particulate matter monitoring using Dustroid can assist in dust suppression automation, for instance, to activate suppressants at the location once the threshold is breached.

Environmental monitoring systems generate incredible amounts of data each day. The opportunity of putting such valuable data at work is missed if the data cannot be converted into timely actions. Data-driven environmental automation can be triggered in real-time by integrating monitoring data with various mitigative systems such as dust suppression, odour control, air purification, etc. Through data-driven environmental automation, the authorities can take preventive measures and sustain air quality within permissible limits which improve environmental health. Industrial process control can also be improved which significantly improves industrial health and safety. The process of collecting, analyzing data and taking data-driven actions has evolved with time and technology. Earlier systems required considerable human intervention, which usually resulted in inefficiency. The modern network-based system integrates multiple and diverse objects of the whole operation and facilitates automatic data-driven actions. A diverse set of actions can be easily integrated and can be made automatic, including issuing warning, alerts and recommendations for workers, red-flagging hazardous systems, real-time updation of risk assessment, intensity regulation of mitigative systems etc. Threshold-based trigger mechanisms can be programmed for smartly turning various systems on and off. Smartly optimized process and operation control saves operational costs and also reduces maintenance frequency significantly. Data-driven environmental automation saves valuable time by taking timely actions. Resources are saved through real-time mitigative actions ensuring higher operational sustainability. Environmental health and safety (EHS) is improved due to the higher efficiency of the mitigative processes. Sectors covered for Data-driven Environmental Automation in this paper are:

Real time pollution maps with air quality software for smart citiesOizom
Full whitepaper here: https://oizom.com/white-papers/real-time-pollution-maps-for-smart-cities/
Massive-scale urbanization, industrialization, and population growth along with an increase in vehicular traffic and energy use have made urban air quality a global concern. The distribution of air pollution concentration over a large urban area predominantly depends on local emission sources and atmospheric flow conditions. Also, smart cities are the centers of various activities having multiple and diverse pollutant sources emitting all kinds of air pollutants. As a result, the air quality of two points even within the same city-block may have a significantly different pollutant concentration. In order to maintain a healthy air environment, it is important to ensure the availability of fine-resolution air quality data and the ability to visualize on a pollution map. This paper focuses on the benefits of such real-time pollution maps for smart cities.
The traditional approach of monitoring air quality at a few selected locations cannot provide such an accurate representation of total urban air quality. This gap can be bridged by deploying multiple low-cost sensor-based systems, which are compact and can be installed virtually anywhere, from a roadside to a terrace or a pole. Such additional data points facilitate the development of real-time air pollution maps for smart cities. The generation of pollution maps helps in understanding the spatial distribution of pollutants, which also enable hotspot identification. The paper explains various methods of data representation mapping air pollution concentration. It also develops an understanding of how real-time monitoring data can be integrated with secondary data such as meteorological data and traffic data to create dynamic air pollution maps. Such real-time air quality mapping provides great insights into the spatial distribution of air pollution, which enables the opportunity to make informed decisions and actions. Such a monitoring system and real-time pollution mapping capabilities serve the basis for designing and planning of smart cities. The paper also describes OIZOM’s offering of comprehensive and scalable solutions for environmental monitoring and analytics in the form of real-time maps for smart cities. The data generated are integration-friendly for various cross-platform applications, bringing together multiple stakeholders to provide data-driven solutions for smart cities.
Odosense is an e-nose based odour monitoring system designed to monitor various odourful and toxic gases. Odosense continuously detects, measures and monitors the odourful gaseous contaminants.

Particulate Matter is not a single air pollutant, but refers to a complex mixture of solids and aerosols of varying shape, size, and chemical composition. They are composed of various chemical species like organic compounds, inorganic ions, metallic compounds, elementary carbon, etc.
They are either directly emitted from a source or are formed through the chemical reactions of other air pollutants such as NOx, SOx, VOCs in the atmosphere.
As the impact of particulate matter exposure on human health directly depends on the size of the particles, they are classified by their diameter for air quality regulatory purposes.
The particles with a diameter of 1 μm or less are collectively known as PM1.
Sources of PM1 include marine aerosol, soil erosion, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires. Other sources are burning fossil fuels, agricultural processes, cooking & cigarette smoke, emission from diesel-powered vehicles, power generation, industrial processes, and so on.
These ultra fine inhalable particles remain suspended into the air due to their negligible mass making humans more susceptible to exposure.
PM1 particles are 400 times thinner than a human hair and travel deep into the lungs to the alveoli and may enter the bloodstream reaching other parts of the body.
Initially, it causes irritation to eyes, nose, throat, and upper respiratory tracts, coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath aggravating already present respiratory diseases. Prolonged exposure causes permanent respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, heart attacks, lung cancer, edema, etc. leading to premature death.
PM1 alters the absorption and scattering of light in the atmosphere affecting visibility. They majorly contribute to smog formation.
PM1 monitoring is an efficient way to detect high concentrations of particulate matter and prevent high-level exposures.

Air Quality Monitoring and Control System in IoTijtsrd
Air pollution that refers to the contamination of the air, irrespective of indoors or outside. A physical, biological or chemical alteration to the air in the atmosphere can be termed as pollution. It occurs when any harmful gases, dust, smoke enters into the atmosphere and makes it difficult for plants, animals, and humans to survive as the air becomes dirty. Proposed system considers pollution due to automobiles and provide a real time solution which is not just monitors pollution levels but also take into consideration control measures for reducing traffic and industrial zone in highly polluted areas. The solution is provided by a sensor based hardware module which can be placed along roads and plants. These modules can be placed on lamp posts and they transfer information about air quality wirelessly to cloud server. The proposed system also provides about air quality information through a mobile application which enables commuters to take up routes where air quality is good.

Pollution Monitoring System using Arduino and various gas sensorUtkarsh Jaiswal
Now-a-days air pollution is one of the most important concern of the world. Air pollution may evolve from anthropogenic or natural sources. Air pollutants of atmospheric substances like CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, and O3 suspended particulate matter (SPM), repairable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) have a great effect on the people health. Most of the major cities in developing countries and most cities of the developed countries are suffering from it. Thus to develop a real time air quality and pollution monitoring system is critical. We have developed an arduino based air pollution detector which combined a small-sized, minimum-cost sensor to an arduino micro-controller unit.
FFRED's Nick Baxter gives an overview of PPE activities including HSE guidance and case study examples. It also details what types of dust are the most hazardous
Air Quality Monitoring Case study - Itanagar smart cityOizom
As a part of their Smart City Mission, Itanagar authorities want to create a perfect amalgamation of maintaining the natural beauty while establishing new technological and infrastructure facilities in the city. Oizom deployed its ambient air monitoring device Polludrone to obtain hyperlocal pollution data and understand the impact of pollution in heavily humid areas. It enabled real-time data assessment to understand the impacts and take effective actions.
To accomplish its smart city mission, Itanagar envisioned a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) strategy which has 5 pillars. One of its pillars is Technology and Innovation that focuses on implementing technological facilities to combat various issues. One key issue also includes the higher pollution rate in the city.
Itanagar is a hilly city, with an elevation of 320 m. This makes the city more prone to pollution concentration. The vehicles which are mostly designed to operate at one atmospheric pressure perform poorly at such high altitudes. This results in the emission of greater amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The phenomenon creates photochemical smog, which is further elevated by the increased solar radiation of higher altitudes. Thus, a system was needed to monitor vehicular emissions.
Polludrone also monitors the emission around the Itanagar airport to monitor its impact on the environment. It measures all the major pollutants present in the ambient air, to give a 360-degree understanding of the environment. Detecting pollution at such high altitudes can get difficult, due to cold weather and lower pressures. But Polludrone is capable of monitoring pollution even at extreme conditions, and provide accurate data.
The authorities can access the data from the device in real-time. Acquiring environmental data from all corners of the city will help them in implementing solutions for it.
The data is analyzed in the Oizom data analysis platform which helps in understanding the pollution scenario and take effective measures before the situation gets worse. Through their efficient approach to tackle all the problems, Itanagar is proving to be an exemplary smart city in all aspects.

Now-a-days air pollution is one of the most important concern of the world. Air pollution may evolve from anthropogenic or natural sources. Air pollutants of atmospheric substances like CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, and O3 suspended particulate matter (SPM), repairable suspended particulate matter (RSPM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) have a great effect on the people health. Most of the major cities in developing countries and most cities of the developed countries are suffering from it. Thus to develop a real time air quality and pollution monitoring system is critical. We have developed an arduino based air pollution detector which combined a small-sized, minimum-cost sensor to an arduino micro-controller unit.
FFRED's Nick Baxter gives an overview of PPE activities including HSE guidance and case study examples. It also details what types of dust are the most hazardous
Air Quality Monitoring Case study - Itanagar smart cityOizom
As a part of their Smart City Mission, Itanagar authorities want to create a perfect amalgamation of maintaining the natural beauty while establishing new technological and infrastructure facilities in the city. Oizom deployed its ambient air monitoring device Polludrone to obtain hyperlocal pollution data and understand the impact of pollution in heavily humid areas. It enabled real-time data assessment to understand the impacts and take effective actions.
To accomplish its smart city mission, Itanagar envisioned a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) strategy which has 5 pillars. One of its pillars is Technology and Innovation that focuses on implementing technological facilities to combat various issues. One key issue also includes the higher pollution rate in the city.
Itanagar is a hilly city, with an elevation of 320 m. This makes the city more prone to pollution concentration. The vehicles which are mostly designed to operate at one atmospheric pressure perform poorly at such high altitudes. This results in the emission of greater amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The phenomenon creates photochemical smog, which is further elevated by the increased solar radiation of higher altitudes. Thus, a system was needed to monitor vehicular emissions.
Polludrone also monitors the emission around the Itanagar airport to monitor its impact on the environment. It measures all the major pollutants present in the ambient air, to give a 360-degree understanding of the environment. Detecting pollution at such high altitudes can get difficult, due to cold weather and lower pressures. But Polludrone is capable of monitoring pollution even at extreme conditions, and provide accurate data.
The authorities can access the data from the device in real-time. Acquiring environmental data from all corners of the city will help them in implementing solutions for it.
The data is analyzed in the Oizom data analysis platform which helps in understanding the pollution scenario and take effective measures before the situation gets worse. Through their efficient approach to tackle all the problems, Itanagar is proving to be an exemplary smart city in all aspects.

Solid waste management is one of the major aspect which has to be considered in terms of making urban area environment healthier. The common dustbins placed by the municipal corporation are leading number of health, environmental and social issues. Various causes are like improper dustbin placement in city, improper system of collecting waste by City Corporation, and more specifically people are not aware enough to use dustbins in proper way. These various major causes are leading serious problems like, an unhygienic condition, air pollution and unhealthy environment creating health disease. Up till now, research has been carried out by developing a Software Applications for indicating dustbin status, another by shortest part method for garbage collecting vehicles by integrating RFID ,GSM, GIS system but no active efforts has been taken paying attention towards managing such waste in atomized way. Considering all these major factors, a smart solid waste management system is designed that will check status and give alert of dustbin fullness and more significantly system has a feature to literate people to use dustbin properly and to literate people to use dustbin properly and to automatically sense and clean garbage present outside the dustbin.

Human health risks due to rising air pollution.pptxOizom
Air - One of the main necessities for the survival of human beings. But with an increase in urbanization, its negative consequences do tag along. One of those consequences is air pollution. In recent years, air pollution has become one of our society’s pressing challenges. Increasing air pollution not only jeopardizes human health and environment but it also has a negative impact on the country’s economic growth. In 2019, India had to suffer a staggering economic loss of approximately 1.4% of GDP due to air pollution.
Importance of Air Quality monitoring in Mountains.pptxOizom
The ambient air of mountains is so good that people forget their worries and spend a peaceful time. Because of this, mountain tourism has increased drastically in recent times. People like to spend their holidays under the arms of nature, away from the hustle-bustle of city life. People have a reason behind this and that is to inhale good air which they miss in the cities. But unknowingly, this reason itself leads to air pollution in mountains. These days mountains have become a hotspot for air pollution and hence monitoring air quality in mountains becomes key
How does Air Quality Sensor Calibration improve data accuracy?Oizom
Low-cost sensors have emerged as a sound solution to air quality monitoring with better spatial coverage. The prime concern over the large-scale deployment of these sensors is their accuracy.
A sound air quality sensor calibration process can ensure data accuracy and reliability through multiple levels. Furthermore, these range from zero-level calibrations to reference-grade comparisons on site of installation aimed at eliminating errors and regional meteorological interferences.
A guide to effective selection of Air Quality MonitorsOizom
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.
Is rising air pollution an irrevocable threat to the environmentOizom
Air pollutants can travel great distances and are not concerned about territorial boundaries or ecologically sensitive areas. Harmful particles produced by power plants, autos, and mining sites can readily travel hundreds of miles from their source. Which pollutes the pristine natural areas. These compounds include a variety of gases as well as microscopic particles or particulates. These particles can harm human health as well as cause major environmental damage.
User experience for ambient air quality monitoring.pptxOizom
Air pollutants, when left unmonitored, cause damage in terms of human health and physical property. Ambient air quality monitoring systems monitor critical parameters and measure the air quality index.
Is the accuracy of low-cost air quality monitoring systems a valid concernOizom
Low-cost ambient air quality monitoring systems allow people to not only operate their devices remotely using wireless network protocols but also provide data that is easy to retrieve.
Calibration is useful for ensuring the effectiveness of sensors and avoiding technical errors.
The years 2020-21 are some of the most challenging years experienced by humankind. While the people of Earth recover from the hard blow of COVID-19, they also witnessed several large-scale wildfires. As a result, we observed both the positive and negative impacts on the ambient air quality. The wildfire occurrences severely deteriorated the air quality. In contrast, country-wide complete and partial lockdowns accounted for cleaner air in some regions.
The lockdown provided a clean window to air and atmosphere for self-cleansing. Several government authorities took the opportunity to work on their clean air programs. As a result, the use of alternative monitoring systems like low-cost sensor-based devices has become more common.
It is now a well-established fact that exposure to poor air quality leads to serious health conditions. This impact can be minimized by reducing our exposure to air pollution. We can do this by leveraging the latest technology which is available to us. One of the best ways of doing that is forecasting air quality in our cities. With the availability of sophisticated data analysis techniques and access to required computational resources, we have all the components necessary for forecasting air quality. All we need is good quality input data to generate accurate forecasts.
A study by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and Greenpeace found that air pollution is creating a global economic burden of about USD 2.9 trillion every year. For India, this figure is about USD 150 billion, erasing 5.4% of our GDP every year to air pollution-related costs.
Such a tremendous economic cost clearly suggests that our current economic practices are getting unsustainable – not only environmentally, but also economically. We need a paradigm shift to reduce the economic burden that we bear due to increasing air pollution.
Effects of wildfires on Ambient Air Quality.pptxOizom
Globally, wildfires have drastically increased in the last couple of years. Due to the changing climate with a warmer world, wildfires have become more and more frequent.
Wildfires not only endanger the ecology and associated ecosystems but also emits tremendous amounts of harmful air pollutants. The air pollution due to such episodes is very difficult to control and monitor given the scale of the source. Air pollutants easily get transported to nearby cities and towns leading to serious health issues. Efficient low-cost ambient air quality monitors such as Polludrone can be deployed to issue warnings and take timely preventive measures to ensure minimum damage.
WHO on Air Quality and the Role of Air Quality MonitorsOizom
The World Health Organisation has released new guidelines for safe breathing air. WHO suggested that 5 micrograms per cubic meter is the new standard for every country to achieve. However, it was shocking to learn that not a single country in the world falls within the standard.
With the deteriorating quality of air in many countries, it is important now more than ever to keep track of the air that we breathe. Maintaining a repository system that tracks the air quality by deploying an accurate and affordable air quality monitoring system on a real-time basis is essential. It can help us to be sure that the air quality we breathe is within acceptable standards.
Significance of low-cost air quality monitors in NCAPOizom
https://oizom.com/significance-of-low-cost-air-quality-monitors-in-ncap/
Cities have come up with city-level Clean Air Plans (CAP) such as Air Information and Response (AIR) plans in Ahmedabad and Pune. The majority of the cities are focusing on the transport sector, construction activities, industries, and monitoring activities. In each respective sector, monitoring through low-cost air quality sensors aids in providing sustainable solutions and improving air quality. The air quality monitored by the device only represents a fraction of its surrounding area. However, real-time pollution heat maps generated through Oizom’s online dispersion analysis helps in air quality forecast and prediction.
https://oizom.com/dust-monitoring-mines-quarries/
The underground mining sites pose even a graver threat to the miners due to insufficient ventilation. The dust particulates suspended in the enclosed area gets trapped and increases the dust concentration. High dust concentration reduces visibility and causes respiratory diseases to the workers. The workers and miners without proper protection masks may suffocate and experience serious health problems. As the safety of the worker at mining and quarrying sites is the liability of the mining company, it becomes mandatory for them to follow the OSHA standards and not to breach the prescribed exposure limit. Dust monitoring at mines and quarries is a primary step to curb particulate pollution ensuring better ambient air quality.

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.

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.
www.oizom.com
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.

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.
