The platform
AirQino is a high-precision environmental monitoring platform, developed by the National Research Council (CNR) in collaboration with TEA Group and Quanta Srl.
The project stems from the need to create a network of mobile stations for a more thorough air quality monitoring in urban areas, in agreement with the 2008/50/EC Directive, which acknowledges and regulates the importance of supplementing measurements to those deriving from fixed stations.
As a matter of fact, despite the activity carried out by the Regional Environmental Protection Agiencies, due to the limited number of stations and/or monitored sources, to date the knowledge of local authorities' on the state of air pollution remains very poor.
I vantaggi di AirQino
Multi-Sensor Monitoring Station
AirQino offers the possibility of detecting atmospheric pollutants and identify their emitting sources.
Versatile Platform
Thanks to its versatility, it can be deployed in several locationsin order to create a widespread, flexible and cheap monitoring network.
Precise Calibration by CNR
High performances of the installed sensors are guaranteed by a thorough procedure of calibration and validation carried out at the CNR laboratories.
Installation Support
A team of experts will support you during the stages of installation and detection of hotspots.
Maintenance
Perfect functionality of the installed sensors is ensured thanks to regular checking and validation procedures.
Custom Development
All AirQino stations can be customized thanks to a wide range of additional sensors that can be integrated according to your needs
Indoor AirQino
The new technology applied to air quality monitoring and most of chemical compounds that impact on the surrounding environment. Thanks to the latest generation sensor technology developed across years of research, development and testing in extreme environments, it has been possible to create a multifunctional monitoring system capable of providing reliable and real-time air quality data measurements.
The Indoor version is designed to detect main air pollutants (NO2, Formaldehyde, O3 , Total VOCs, CO) in indoor environments or that require a constant control of environmental parameters. The station is able to detect additional environmental parameters such as air temperature and relative humidity and main climate-altering gas: CO2. All AirQino stations can be customized thanks to a wide range of sensors that can be integrated within the system.
Basic configuration
Basic configuration applied to monitoring all indoor environments that require constant air quality monitoring with particular attention to substances such as Formaldehyde, Carbon Dioxide and Ozone
