Use Case: Air Quality Monitoring in Smart Cities & Local Governments

Why Smart Cities Need Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring

Smart city air quality monitoring is essential for tackling urban air pollution, protecting public health, and designing more sustainable, liveable cities.

With IoT air quality sensors, smart city environmental monitoring systems, and digital twinning, cities can track pollution hotspots, plan cleaner transport routes, and measure the impact of new developments, all in real-time.

City Planning & Mobility

  • Urban Air Quality Management Systems: Use integrated smart city air quality solutions like Persium IoT Pods to collect hyperlocal data for smarter city planning.

  • Predictive Air Quality Analytics for Smart Cities: Digital twinning enables city planners to test different scenarios, from new road networks to green spaces, and forecast their impact on air pollution levels.

  • Safer, Cleaner Streets: Pinpoint air pollution hotspots and design spaces that encourage walking, cycling, and cleaner transport fuels.

Local Government Air Quality Strategies

  • Reliable Data for Local Authorities: Local councils need accurate air quality monitoring systems to comply with air quality regulations and meet national and WHO standards.

  • Funding and ROI: Proactive air pollution strategies help local governments reduce hospitalisations, lower annual welfare costs, and demonstrate ROI for funding air quality projects.

  • Low-Cost Air Quality Sensors for Communities: Persium’s smart city air quality sensor networks make continuous monitoring affordable for municipalities of any size.

Public Health & Community Impact

  • Protect Vulnerable Communities: Identify boroughs or streets with the highest exposure to PM2.5, NO2, or ozone. Take action to reduce emissions and improve urban wellbeing.
  • Community Air Quality Monitoring Programs: Open data dashboards and real-time air quality maps empower citizens to understand the air they breathe. Citizen science and local air quality initiatives build public trust and advocacy for cleaner air.

Industries & Emissions Control

  • Real-Time Source Apportionment: Track industrial pollution and vehicle emissions at source. Persium helps local governments identify urban air pollution hotspots and enforce emission standards.
  • Smart Streetlights & IoT Integration: Combine air quality sensors with smart streetlights or other IoT systems for a more connected, sustainable smart city infrastructure.
