Air quality affects our health

Long-term poor air quality can lead to many types of cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, eczema and allergies.

Fortunately, modern technology now allows very easy, affordable, hyperlocal and long-term measurements of concentrations of many types of health hazardous substances such as:

  • particulate matters (PM1, PM2.5, PM10)

  • nitrogen and sulfur oxides (NO2, SO2)

  • carbon monoxide (CO)

  • tropospheric ozone (O3)

the effect of particulate matters on the human body

how pMs harm our lungs?

Particulate matters smaller than 10 micrometres penetrate the larynx and lower respiratory tract

Particles smaller than 2.5 µm settle in the bronchial tubes, affecting our body even more significantly

Particles smaller than 1 µm are deposited in the lung chambers, from where they pass into the bloodstream and are thus the most dangerous

Health-threatening gases

Elevated nitrogen dioxide concentrations can cause irritation of mucous membranes and are a risk, especially for young children and people with asthma. In high concentrations it can cause poisoning.

Sulphur dioxide causes irritation of mucous membranes, promotes bronchitis and can cause asthma. It is produced by the combustion of fossil fuels in domestic heating systems and industrial plants.

Carbon monoxide affects the heart, vascular and nervous systems and in high concentrations can cause poisoning and death. It is produced by imperfect combustion and enters the air through leakage from industrial plants.

Tropospheric or ground-level ozone occurs just above the ground, most often in low-traffic areas during the summer months. It causes headaches, respiratory and eye irritation.

professional air Sensors by Agdata

Our high-tech air sensors monitor all important health hazardous substances such as PMs, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and tropospheric ozone. We also offer monitoring of CO2 in confined spaces.

  • hyperlocal and long-term monitoring

  • latest concentrations online in one system

  • automatic alerts of poor air quality

  • recommendations to minimise the impact on health

agdata Noise Meters

You can also monitor noise levels in real time using our Agdata sensors. In combination with the air sensor, you will have an overview of the noise development in relation to increased traffic.

  • real-time noise monitoring

  • daily maximums and average values

  • automatic alerts of critical noise values

Where Do Our Sensors Help?

    Air quality monitoring is used a lot by municipalities, on school grounds, at intersections and bypasses, in industrial areas, near local heating plants, etc.

    Measured data help to protect our health, serve to develop appropriate measures or as a basis for arguments with polluters.

    Air quality is also well monitored in recreational areas to present excellent air quality in green areas, spas, sports grounds, etc.
