Designed for continuous outdoor deployment across real-world environments.
RECAP
Project Summary
Persium deployed a real-time air quality monitoring network across residential areas in Dudley< focused specifically on community-level exposure rather than city-wide averages.
Persium Pods are positioned at street level across neighbourhoods, providing continuous visibility into how air quality varies across local areas and identifying pollution hotspots that broader monitoring misses. All data streams into Persium MapView for live geospatial visibility, trend analysis, and community reporting.
The Challenge
Long-term exposure to air pollution does not only occur in commercial districts or on major roads. It happens in residential neighbourhoods, on local streets, and near the homes where people spend most of their time.
Traditional monitoring relies on a limited number of static stations that provide broad regional indicators, missing the hyperlocal variation that determines actual community exposure. Understanding pollution at the scale people experience it requires monitoring at the scale of streets and neighbourhoods.
Persium
Deployment
Persium Pods are positioned across residential areas and local streets in Dudley, capturing street-level environmental conditions experienced by residents on a continuous basis.
Parameters monitored include key pollutants such as PM1, PM2.5, and PM10, alongside temperature, humidity, noise, and atmospheric conditions. Exact configuration tailored to deployment requirements.
Monitoring through Dashboard & MapView
All data streams into Persium MapView — providing local authorities and stakeholders with live geospatial visibility of air quality conditions across the borough. Users can monitor pollutant trends in real time, compare data across locations, configure threshold alerts, and generate downloadable reports.
What This Enables
Neighbourhood-level monitoring gives local authorities and communities the evidence needed for targeted mitigation, identifying which streets and areas experience the highest exposure, informing smarter local policy, and demonstrating measurable progress over time. Environmental intelligence that reaches communities, not just city centres.
Air quality monitoring should reflect how people actually experience pollution.
