Environmental Monitoring
01
Particulate Matter PM2.5 (µg/m³)
PM2.5 particles penetrate deeply into the lungs, causing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Exposure is linked to 4.2 million deaths annually from air pollution-related conditions like lung cancer.
02
Particulate Matter PM10 (µg/m³)
PM10 particles affect respiratory health, especially for those with chronic conditions. Exposure contributes to 7 million premature deaths globally each year, often linked to air pollution.
03
Formaldehyde CH₂O (ppm)
A known carcinogen, formaldehyde exposure from building materials and products can cause respiratory irritation and cancer risk with prolonged exposure even at low levels, contributing to indoor air pollution-related health issues.
04
Carbon Dioxide CO₂ (ppm)
Elevated CO2 levels in indoor spaces can lead to drowsiness, headaches, and impaired cognitive function. Safe CO₂ levels are below 1,000 ppm, with extended exposure to levels above 5,000 ppm impacting well-being and productivity.
05
Temperature (°C)
Monitoring temperature is crucial for health and comfort, as extreme temperatures contribute to heat-related illnesses like heatstroke or hypothermia. Roughly 296,000 heat-related deaths reported between 2000 – 2019.
06
Total Volatile Organic Compounds TVOCs (ppb)
TVOCs, emitted from sources like paints and cleaners, can lead to respiratory issues and headaches, with indoor levels often 2 to 5 times higher than outdoors, affecting millions
07
Illuminance Levels (lux)
Proper lighting is essential for visual comfort and performance. Poor illuminance can lead to eye strain, headaches, and decreased productivity. Inadequate lighting leads to fatigue and discomfort, affecting visual comfort.
08
Barometric Pressure (hPa)
Fluctuations in barometric pressure changes are often linked to weather conditions that influences human health, particularly in individuals with migraines, arthritis, and respiratory conditions. Sudden drops in pressure can be dangerous.
09
Humidity (%RH)
Relative humidity affects air quality, comfort, and respiratory health. High humidity can promote mold growth, worsening asthma and allergies, while low humidity can dry out mucous membranes, increasing the risk of infections.
