A little about our ambient monitors
Aeroqual’s ambient air quality monitoring solutions (AQY R, AQM 65, and Dust Sentry) provide credible, real-time air quality data across a range of applications (including urban air quality monitoring, community monitoring, occupational health and safety, and more).
The AQY R, a compact air quality monitoring system designed for use in air monitoring networks of all sizes, is commonly used to set up affordable air monitoring networks measuring air quality at a hyperlocal scale. The AQM 65 is often used to form national and urban air monitoring networks and conduct environmental impact assessments (along with fenceline monitoring and other applications), delivering continuous real-time measurement of up to 20 different gas and particulate pollutants and environmental parameters. The Dust Sentry is an affordable, durable dust monitoring system with a range of ambient air monitoring uses, including roadside monitoring and air quality research projects.
Particulate matter:
PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, TSP
Gases:
O3, NO2, CO, CO2, SO2, VOCs, H2S, CH4, benzene, nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Key technology of our ambient air quality monitors
Our ambient air quality monitoring solutions combine portability with a durable design and industry-leading air sensor technology to deliver highly accurate, real-time data you can trust.
Portable design
Easily set up and reposition monitors throughout your air monitoring network thanks to a lightweight, portable design. Mount to walls, poles, or railing using a supplied mounting bracket (AQY R only).
Interference-free measurement
Onboard corrections automatically account for PM sensor interferences in real-time (e.g., temperature, humidity). An integrated O3 filter guards against interference for exact NO2 measurement.
Rugged enclosure
Our ambient monitoring solutions feature a durable, weatherproof enclosure with solar shield armor. Gather reliable data in even the toughest conditions, with an operating range from -35 °C to +50 °C (solution dependent).
Integrated cloud software
Reduce site visits and access real-time data from anywhere with two-way communication and automated alerts via Aeroqual Cloud. Pair the AQY R with Aeroqual Unify to capture accurate, hyperlocal air quality data.
Solutions that make your project easier
Easy set-up and portability
Deploy in minutes, repositioning monitors throughout your network with ease as needed.
Remote, real-time alerts
Access real-time data from anywhere and receive automatic alerts when measurements exceed user-defined thresholds.
Eliminate data loss
On-board storage and our cloud-connected air monitoring software ensure 100% data capture.
