How can Air Quality Monitoring Aid in Curbing Air Pollution?

[Pramod Kumar]

The pollution across the globe has risen considerably over the past few years. The pollution levels are particularly high in urban areas, which can be ascribed to the swift industrialization, rising number of construction activities, and surging number of vehicles on roads. While the usage of vehicles and consumer products have made things incredibly easy for people, the resulting pollution is also significantly affecting their health. A substantially high number of people have died due to the increased pollution levels.

It is because of such factors that the global air quality monitoring (AQM) market is witnessing considerable growth. AQM systems are utilized for measuring wind direction, speed, and other weather parameters, particulate matters, and concentration of air pollutants, including NOx, CO, SO2, and THC, all around the year . These systems can aid in dealing with the problem of surging air pollution levels, thereby improving the quality of life for people, especially those living in urban areas.

Significant technological advancements are occurring in the domain, which are essentially revolutionizing the way air quality is controlled and monitored. Several government organizations and vendors are focusing extensively on research for developing, evaluating, and implementing new air quality technologies. Increased research and development activities are further leading to the development of cost effective and portable air quality monitoring sensors. This is predicted to result in the growth of the domain in the years to come.

Indoor AQMs have a number of advantages. These systems can measure a number of pollutants, including aldehydes, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Furthermore, the adoption rate of these monitors is high in pharmaceutical and various other industries, where a controlled environment is necessary. On the basis of pollutant, the market is divided into biological, chemical, and physical, among which, the chemical division is expected to register the highest CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period.

Geographically, the AQM market was dominated by North America in 2017, as per a report by P&S Intelligence. The growing number of patients suffering from respiratory disorders, surging pollution levels and increasing awareness regarding the health and environmental effects of air pollution are driving the regional domain. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to progress at the fastest pace during the forecast period, owing to rapid industrialization and rising pollution levels.

In conclusion, the market is being driven by the increasing levels of air pollution and technological advancements.
