Particulate matter consists of tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air, originating from traffic, industry, construction activities and natural sources. Depending on their size, these particles can penetrate the respiratory system and impact human health, making them a key indicator of air quality. Read more
Air monitoring in remediation projects involves the continuous measurement of atmospheric pollutants released during the cleanup of soils, groundwater and contaminated industrial sites. Activities such as excavation, soil vapour extraction (SVE) or chemical treatments...
Background Particulate matter (PM) is not a single pollutant, but a mixture of particles of different sizes, compositions, and origins. The size of these particles determines how long they remain suspended in the air and how deeply they penetrate the human respiratory...
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...
Measuring air quality is not just about collecting data. It is about ensuring that this data is reliable, comparable and useful for decision-making that affects health, regulatory compliance and major public and private investments. In this context, Kunak AIR Pro has...
Breathing is the most fundamental act of life, yet for millions of people across Europe, the very air they inhale poses a silent, pervasive threat. Air pollution has long been recognized as a major environmental issue, but its impacts on human health, ecosystems, and...
The future is not set in stone, but the next time we're flying into an airport, let's think twice about taking a deep breath after having touched down. The impact of gaseous and particulate emissions at airports contributes to the worsening of air quality in our...
In a world where air quality is a growing concern, reliable air quality measurement tools are essential. In this context, Kunak is proud to announce that its innovative device, the Kunak AIR Pro, has achieved the prestigious MCERTS certification, confirming it as the...
Construction works, while essential for urban development, are also one of the main sources of air pollution in cities. Earthworks, demolition, the use of heavy machinery, and the constant movement of materials produce large amounts of dust and pollutant gases that...
Mining and air pollution go hand in hand. There is no doubt that mining operations have a visual and landscape impact. However, the environmental impact of mining on air quality is also a factor to be considered, especially when protecting the health of workers and...
