Having a secure and healthy work environment is crucial for the workers’ overall well-being. A poor environment not only impairs their health but also reduces productivity and threatens safety. Regardless of whether it’s for a smart building, factory, campus, or city, monitoring air quality is imperative.
Environmental monitoring is vital for:
- Preserving the environment: It identifies declining environmental quality caused by pollution, habitat destruction, and other factors, allowing action to be taken to protect the environment and natural resources.
- Compliance with regulations: By monitoring the environment, companies and communities can ensure compliance with environmental laws, preventing environmental damage and protecting public health.
- Sustainability: The data gathered through monitoring supports sustainable development, such as identifying areas for renewable energy or conservation efforts.
- Tracking progress: Monitoring over time helps track trends and assess the effectiveness of environmental protection efforts, allowing the identification of areas requiring further action.
- Improved decision-making: Environmental monitoring provides data for informed decision-making in areas like land use planning, resource management, and policy development.
In conclusion, environmental monitoring is an indispensable tool for preserving the environment, meeting regulations, promoting sustainability, tracking progress, and enhancing decision-making toward maintaining and improving environmental quality.

POLLUDRONE – Ambient Air Quality Monitoring System
Polludrone is a cost-effective, real-time air quality monitoring system that provides reference-level performance. It offers a complete solution for monitoring key ambient environmental factors, such as air quality, noise, odour, weather, and radiation, as well as ground-level weather data, like wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, flood levels, and visibility, through optional external modules. Polludrone offers highly accurate measurements, adhering to WHO air quality limits, at a fraction of the cost (10x or less) of traditional analyzer-based stations.
The Polludrone measures a wide range of ambient parameters including PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), ambient noise, light, UV, temperature, and humidity. It utilizes patented e-breathing technology for improved accuracy and near-reference data. The dense network of data points created by the Polludrone generates highly localized pollution data.
The Polludrone outdoor air quality monitoring system is flexible in terms of communication, supporting various wired and wireless protocols like GSM, WiFi, LoRA, Sigfox, and NBIoT for near real-time data transmission to the Oizom cloud. It has a built-in memory backup to prevent data loss in case of network failures and works seamlessly with the Oizom IoT Terminal. Real-time data can be viewed on the platform through a dashboard, automated reports, and intelligent alerts. The data is also accessible through Rest APIs for integration with third-party software and automation. The Polludrone is an all-in-one solution for monitoring the National Air Quality Index (NAQI).
ODOSENSE – Odour Monitoring System
Odosense is an e-nose based odour monitoring system that detects, measures, and monitors various odorous and toxic gases. The Oizom Odor Monitoring Solution consists of a network of e-noses (OdosenseTM) placed around the site. Meteorological parameters such as wind speed and wind direction can also be monitored through optional external modules. These modules allow for the tracing of the odour dispersion plume and identification of the odour source.
Monitoring odours from sites such as landfills, wastewater treatment facilities, fertilizer plants, paper-pulp industries, and soil treatment sites are important due to the potential odour nuisance and health hazards for employees and nearby residents. Odour monitoring serves as an early warning system in the event of accidental pollutant releases and helps track the source of the odour through plume dispersion analysis. Keeping track of odour intensity is necessary for implementing odour mitigation measures and can also provide authorities with evidence in case of false complaints.
Odosense measures various odour parameters, including Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Ammonia (NH3), Methyl Mercaptan, TVOC (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene), Formaldehyde (CH2O), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Chlorine (CL2), as well as Temperature and Humidity.
Odosense boasts improved accuracy through features like its innovative e-breathing technology, automatic firmware upgrades, and remote calibration capabilities. Additionally, it utilizes AI and machine learning algorithms to assess the level and impact of odours.
DUSTROID – Ambient Dust Monitor
Dustroid is a Continuous Air Particulate Monitoring system designed to measure the concentration of dust particles in the air. It can monitor a range of particle sizes, from 1 micron to 100 microns, including Ultrafine Suspended Particulate Matter (PM1), Respiratory Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10), and Total Suspended Particulates (PM100). By utilizing external modules, wind speed and direction can be monitored to assess the dispersion of PM and the impact of dust levels in a specific area.
Dustroid is an ideal choice for dust surveys in industries with high dust exposure such as construction, mining, quarrying, ports, and metallurgical processes, among others. It measures all major particulate matter including PM1, PM2.5, PM10, PM100, Temperature, and Humidity. Utilizing an Active Sampling method and a precise laser beam, Dustroid accurately counts particulate matter. It features a heated inlet for dehumidifying air samples and an anti-static inlet to prevent particle loss during sampling. With remote calibration capabilities and automatic firmware updates, Dustroid remains technologically advanced.
