A complete solution to air quality monitoring of PM2.5, PM10, dust emissions, and VOCs at construction and demolition sites.
Air pollution has been a major cause of concern for a long time now and there one major aspect of it that goes unnoticed is the air pollution due to construction. 30% of the air pollution prevalent in Delhi is caused due to construction pollution i.e. particulate matter – pm2.5, pm10 dust particles produced from the construction sites.
Fine particles suspended in the air, especially at the sites
Machinery on the sites creates noise that can cause ear injury.
It is produced from the combustion of carbon-based fuels.
Activities like welding emits organic compounds & cause illness
Burning of fuels used in machinery can release NOx into the air.
Exposures can cause dizziness,
headaches, and other discomforts.
Shifting to alternative fuels
can decrease SOx emissions.
Causes respiratory problems and
is a major cause of acid rain.
It can cause respiratory and
cardiovascular problems.
It can cause nausea, dizziness, headaches,
and even death at very high levels.
The workers working on the C&D site are affected the most by air pollution. Other than them, people living nearby these areas are affected by both indoor and outdoor air pollution caused by C&D emissions near their homes. These include:
They are most exposed to various pollution sources
They can experience short-term health effects.
Eye & respiratory tract irritations, & aggravation in asthma.
Exposure can impact attentiveness.
Their airways are narrower, resulting in more obstructions.
PM exposure can cause preterm labor, low-weight deliveries, etc.
Aggravates COPD, asthma, and other disorders among old age people.
Their conditions might worsen and harm organs such as the kidneys, lungs, etc..
The government of India recognized the problem and has come up with a solution for dust mitigation.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change recently issued a notice regarding the construction pollution at the project sites in Delhi NCR and other regions that come under the Commission for Air Quality and Management (CAQM).
DPCC
(Delhi Pollution Control Committee)
HSPCB
(Haryana State Pollution Control Board)
UPPCB
(Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board)
A bunch of instructions by Govt. of India is given in order to curb the Construction and Demolition activities
in Delhi NCR, India which are as follows:-
The Government announced that an online tool should be introduced to keep track of whether the pollution control rules are being implemented as per said rules.
All projects of construction and demolition whose area is 500 square meters or more than 500 square meters which come under Delhi NCR have to register at the web portal.
Video fencing that is also well-found with remote 4G connectivity should be integrated with the web portal for effective observation of the implementation of pollution control measures.
All the construction and demolition sites need to be equipped with economical and accurate sensors of the particulate matter, PM10, AND PM2.5. The sensors should be linked to where they can be accessed live at all times by the CPCB, government, and other government bodies.
Prana Air Ambient Air Quality Monitors help construction companies monitor air quality and ensure worker safety. Accurate readings of different air quality parameters, including temperature, allow for proactive measures to mitigate air pollution and improve overall air quality on site.
As per the Govt. guidlines, the data has to be accessed on a website portal owned by the government. Prana Air will provide the data of the air quality monitor through an API that can be integrated on any website.
With the ability to remotely access live video footage and real-time air quality data, construction teams can make informed decisions to improve the air quality, and follow the standards, and safety of their work environment.
Bad air quality means bad health for construction workers and people living nearby
Air quality assessment at C&D sites will help in monitoring and maintaining the air quality as per the Govt. norms, and therefore mitigation strategies can be adapted to maintain the air quality.
Prana Air monitors detect various pollutants and can be used as a CAAQMS for construction sites. This Continuous Ambient Air Quality Management System enables informed decisions and emission control strategies, ensuring improved air quality and reducing health risks for workers and communities.
Display real-time air quality data on your Android television sets or LED displays 24/7 at construction sites. This enables construction teams to easily monitor and analyze air quality data, helping them make informed decisions and take proactive measures to mitigate potential health risks for workers and nearby communities.
Cloud storage is an essential tool for construction sites to remotely access monitored data. Cloud storage provides a secure backup for critical data, reducing the risk of data loss or corruption. The data can be accessed on mobile and tablet apps, android TV and web-dashboard anytime anywhere 24/7.

About Air Quality Solution for construction sites
Have questions? We’re here to help.
– Common air pollutants present at C&D sites are PM2.5, PM10, CO, NOx, VOCs, etc, and noise.
– Workers and people living nearby are affected the most. The harm can be increased by subsequent exposure to PM and dust pollution. Health effects include eye and respiratory tract irritations, lung and kidney damage, and cancer.
– The best methods for reducing dust at C&D facilities include routinely wetting down surfaces, employing dust suppression devices, and making sure enclosed spaces have adequate ventilation.
– To know the nature of pollutants and how much they are present at the site so that necessary actions can be taken while complying with the standards under the CAQM.
– C&D sites are required to abide by rules established by the regional air quality management district or a state agency, which may include restrictions on the number of certain pollutants that can be emitted, measures to reduce dust, and reporting requirements.
– Yes, you can keep an eye on the humidity, noise, and temperature of a place.
– Customizable dashboard, 24*7 remote access to the data, health suggestions, real-time and historical data analysis, QR code to scan for real-time AQI in that location, and much more.
