1. What is the function of an air quality monitor, and how does it operate?

An air quality monitor is a device designed to measure pollutants and contaminants in the air. It operates by using sensors to detect concentrations of particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and other harmful substances. These sensors provide real-time data, enabling users to assess air quality accurately.

2. Why is monitoring air quality important?

Monitoring air quality is vital for understanding pollutant levels in the atmosphere, which directly impacts human health. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems. By monitoring air quality, individuals and organizations can take necessary steps to reduce exposure to harmful pollutants and improve overall health.

3. What pollutants can Prana Air quality monitors detect?

How Air Quality Monitoring Can Reveal the Hidden Impact of Air Pollution?

The harmful substances released into the air are air pollutants that negatively impact the environment and human health.

According to WHO research, nine out of ten people breathe poor air quality, with 99% of the global population exposed to levels exceeding recommended limits. Air pollution causes 8 million deaths each year—3.8 million indoors and 4.2 million outdoors.

The dramatic rise in population has increased energy consumption and resource use. It leads to higher pollutant levels and greater health risks, particularly respiratory illnesses. Therefore, air quality monitoring is crucial. Prana Air’s air quality monitors helps in checking pollutants in your environment to make informed decisions for healthier, cleaner air.

Key Parameters, Its Sources & the Health Impacts By Indoor Air Pollution (AQI)

PM2.5/10
CO2
TVOC
HCHO

Particulate Matter

Sources

Indoor sources- cooking, candle burning, tobacco smoking, kerosene heaters, construction activities. Outdoor sources- forest fires, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, power plants, waste treatment plants, oil refineries, etc.

Health Impact

PM 2.5 diameter is less than 2.5 microns and easily enters the lungs and bloodstream. It causes sneezing, inflammation, skin allergies, asthma, coughing, pneumonia, irregular heartbeat, nonfatal heart attacks, etc. A high PM 2.5 level reduces the visibility. It can also lead to environmental changes as well. PM10 causes allergies that can influence sensitive groups.

Learn More

CO2

Sources

The top source of indoor presence of CO2 is humans. As humans inhale oxygen and exhale CO2. It also releases from heating devices, oil-burning coal, and gas burning. CO2 is also emitted because of Deforestation or soil degradation.

Health Impact

High CO2 levels highly influence the individual’s performance in a school or office. CO2 exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, restlessness, breathing difficulty, increased heart rate, and other symptoms. CO2 emissions also cause global warming. Long-term exposure can cause extreme health issues. Such as cardiac arrest, and impaired cognitive function.

Learn More

TVOC

Sources

Indoor- Paint, glue, soaps, fabrics, wood, cleansers, plastic products, solvents, etc. TVOCs vaporate at room temperature and release into the air. Outdoor sources of TVOCs are industrial processes, wildfires, and vehicle emissions.

Health Impact

TVOCs evaporate at room temperature. It causes strong odors that cause headaches, fatigue (tiredness), dizziness, nosebleeding, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. High exposure to TVOCs can cause severe health issues. Such as nausea, asthma, and damage to the kidneys, liver, or nervous system. Some chemicals can also cause cancer in animals.

Learn More

HCHO

Sources

Indoor: Smoking, cleaning products, furniture, burning fuel, cosmetics, paint, incense lighting, etc. releases HCHO in the indoor air. Outdoor: HCHO releases from natural gases burning, gasoline, etc.

Health Impact

HCHO exposure can cause extreme health issues. Any individual can face irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. It can also lead to skin or lung allergies. With it, it increases the chances of some types of cancer and also causes consciousness loss, pneumonia, and other extreme health issues. HCHO exposure can also affect reproductive health.
