In addition to Air Quality monitoring, the Polludrone also monitored the city’s urban weather conditions like temperature and humidity. ...
A thick dark blanket of smoke covers the cities, as fires engulf the forests. 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. Last year, the world witnessed major wildfires across the world. From Australian bushfires and California wildfire to the forest fire in Similipal, ...
This becomes a serious concern given the adverse health effects of air pollution. However, the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) 2019 addressed the rising concern of poor air quality with the goal of a 30% reduction in particulate pollution by the year 2024. One of the key components of the NCAP is to increase the existing ...
Since in that plant odors have been proved to be well correlated with TRS concentrations (Total Reduced Sulfur, sum of H2S, mercaptans, organic sulfides), they are monitored by the mean of a network of 20 ambient air TRS monitors, located within the plant in such a way that the reactors at the origin of abnormal odors emissions can be detected, ...
EPA established a new 1-hour primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide (SO2). The new 1-hour standard was set at the level of 75 parts per billion (ppb) calculated as the three-year average of the 99th percentile of the annual distribution of daily maximum 1-hour average concentrations. ...
This paper proposes an objective methodology for designing a multi-pollutant urban air-quality monitoring network to detect concentrations greater than reference concentration levels (CL). The network design includes both air quality simulation and an objective analysis based on monitoring tasks. The proposed methodology is applied to the city of Buenos Aires. Pollutants of concern are nitrogen ...
An attainment area is defined as an area where the air quality is in compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). ...
