Atmospheric pollutants are substances present in the air that can have a negative impact on human health, ecosystems and the climate. They originate from both natural sources and human activities, particularly traffic, industry and combustion, and monitoring them is key to improving air quality and reducing their environmental impact.

Environmental emergency response is the rapid assessment and control of the environmental risks arising from accidents such as industrial incidents, fires, spills or accidental releases of chemical substances. When an incident affects the air, continuous monitoring...
Choosing the right air quality sensor for a project takes more than comparing price, number of pollutants or battery life. The choice should start from the monitoring objective, the pollutants and concentration ranges expected, the installation environment and the...
Fugitive emissions monitoring makes it possible to detect and control, in real time, unchannelled leaks of industrial gases such as methane (CH4), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), ammonia (NH3) or sulphur dioxide (SO2) at refineries,...
Fenceline monitoring in industrial facilities makes it possible to continuously measure pollutants at the industrial perimeter, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), methane (CH4), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter (PM),...
Near-reference air quality monitoring is a method of measuring air quality that combines measurement accuracy approaching that of regulatory reference stations with the flexibility of professional sensors such as Kunak AIR stations. This approach enables hyperlocal...
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...
Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are atmospheric pollutants that expose the challenge of measuring the infinitely small. With a diameter smaller than 100 nanometres (PM0.1), their danger does not stem from their weight (almost negligible) but from their numerical...
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...
Addressing a natural process such as environmental corrosion or material degradation, in which materials in contact with the environment undergo a progressive deterioration over time, means facing a public safety issue. This natural situation worsens when atmospheric...
