Air quality refers to the condition of the air we breathe and the concentration of pollutants present in the atmosphere. Good air quality helps protect human health, the environment and overall quality of life, while continuous monitoring enables the identification of risks, emission control and effective pollution reduction measures.

Air quality monitoring in data centres is the continuous or periodic measurement of atmospheric contaminants generated by installations across construction, operation and decommissioning phases. Unlike traditional industrial sources, data centre emissions are...
Urban traffic emissions monitoring makes it possible to measure pollutants such as NO2, PM2.5, CO, and O3 in real time in order to assess the impact of transportation on air quality. These sensor networks support the management of low-emission zones, the detection of...
Despite their reputation for pristine environments, islands around the world — from Hawai‘i and the Caribbean to those in the South Pacific and the Mediterranean — face growing challenges concerning air quality. A global study by IQAir highlights that only a handful...
The first Europeans who explored the coasts of America were already crossing the Atlantic, keeping an eye on these large concentrations of floating seagrass meadows in which their vessels could become entangled and alter their course. However, it has only been in the...
Introduction What matters are facts, not words, when the climate crisis has ceased to be a distant threat. A current global problem that has moved beyond being exclusively an environmental debate because it now directly and dramatically impacts life, the economy and...
Introduction: why calibration is the cornerstone of environmental control "An uncalibrated measurement is an assumption. A calibrated measurement is scientific truth." In the field of environmental monitoring, accuracy is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Strategic...
Air quality is a key factor in public health and environmental protection. Aware of this, the European Union has adopted the new European Air Quality Directive, officially known as Directive (EU) 2024/2881, which sets stricter standards to improve air quality across...
The air quality is a determinant factor in achieving sports goals as it directly impacts the health of athletes. Air pollution can alter lung capacity, increase thermal stress, and reduce muscle oxygenation, which directly impacts performance and recovery capacity of...
It is evident that among all environmental risk factors faced by citizens in developed countries, exposure to air pollution has the greatest impact on health, with airborne particulate matter (PM2.5) being the main risk factor for people. According to a study...
