Air Quality Microstation Monitoring Solution
- Background and Requirements
●--------------------------------------------------------------------
With rapid urbanization and stricter environmental regulations, traditional air quality monitoring stations face challenges such as high costs, insufficient coverage, and delayed data reporting. Air quality microstations, as compact and cost-effective monitoring tools, enable high-density, real-time regional air quality monitoring, supporting precise pollution control and data-driven decision-making.
- System Overview
●--------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)Objectives
Establish a grid-based air quality monitoring network for rapid pollution source identification.
Monitor real-time dynamic distribution of pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO₂, NO₂, CO, O₃, VOCs, etc.).
Provide actionable data to environmental agencies for pollution alerts, emergency response, and policy evaluation.
(2)Technical Features
High-Precision Sensors: Electrochemical and laser scattering sensors with ≤±10% measurement error.
IoT Connectivity: Real-time data transmission via 4G/5G to cloud platforms.
Smart Maintenance: Remote calibration, fault diagnosis, and low operational costs.
Flexible Deployment: Compatible with streetlights, buildings, and other urban infrastructure.
- Implementation Plan
●--------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)Monitoring Network Design
Deployment Strategy: GIS-based layout in industrial zones, traffic hubs, residential areas, and sensitive locations (schools, hospitals) with 500m×500m grid coverage.
Parameters: Standard six pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO₂, NO₂, CO, O₃), optional TVOC and meteorological sensors (temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction).
