Hyperlocal Air sensing
It’s hard to tackle problems you can’t really see.
Air pollution can be hard to see, so it is challenging for local entities to pinpoint sources and patterns to develop effective solutions.
Conventional air pollution management, which commonly relies on a few fixed monitors and modeling with a few data points, is typically being used in Europe and around the world among other punctual scientific initiatives.
This approach measures air quality in high levels of accuracy however, by their very nature, stationery, they are fixed and only measure air pollution and particulates in one location. Due to the high costs, cities install only a small number of them. This approach provides a good picture of pollution over time, but as different scientific studies have shown, stationary sensors can significantly mischaracterize pollution just a hundred meters away.
What is not measured cannot be understood nor managed.
Due to the limitations of conventional air quality monitoring and the complexity of urban or industrial sites, new technology must be used to assess the air pollution impact of these facilities and support decision-makers.
Key improvements in high-resolution mobile air monitoring, data management, and above all analysis techniques represent today an effective technique to spatially and temporally characterize air pollution in areas near sources.
We at Hyperlocal Air have built on the latest science and technology advances and have created an integrated mobile high-definition air pollution monitoring platform in conjunction with dedicated cloud software for monitoring, visualizing, and diagnosing air pollution.
Our Hyperlocal Air approach allows us to measure and map air pollution street-by-street, we set a data node every 30 meters, at a hyperlocal scale. This means gathering very large amounts of air quality data at a resolution significantly higher than conventional stationary air pollution monitoring.
We sense with up to 100,000 times greater spatial resolution than traditional air monitoring approaches.
Unlike conventional air pollution monitoring, we can track multiple pollutants at once using the most advanced high-tech sensors.
Hyperlocal Air tracks with high precision and as from low concentrations in near to real-time:
Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m-Xylene, o-Xylene, p-Xylene, Ozone, Nitric Oxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Styrene, Ammonia, Formaldehyde, 1,3-Butadiene, particulate matter (ranging from 1 to 10µm) and Black Carbon
Our Air Intelligence Cloud software processes millions of data points powered by advanced analytical technologies and machine learning algorithms, including neural networks and ensemble methods, generating actionable Air Intelligence data for decision-makers.
These high-definition pollution data help to identify where attention is needed most, better understand what’s causing pollution and then help tailor solutions to meet the most critical challenges.
With our Hyperlocal Air 360 ° approach we enable Industrial complexes and ports a much deeper understanding of air pollution patterns and pollution Hotspots with insights and management capabilities at previously unknown levels.
Hyperlocal Air – making the invisible visible.
The Hyperlocal Air 360° monitoring approach shifts air pollution monitoring from passive monitoring towards active management of air quality in near to real-time.
Urban areas – Cities
How data can supercharge efforts to lower air pollution in Cities
A century ago, roughly 10 percent of the world’s population lived in cities. Today, some 55% of the world’s population – 4.2 billion inhabitants – live in cities.
Urbanization is one of the most powerful, irreversible forces in the world. This trend is expected to continue. By 2050, with the urban population more than doubling its current size, nearly 7 of 10 people in the world will live in cities. Cities generate about 80 percent of global GDP today. The top 100 largest cities account for 35 percent of global GDP; Tthe top 600 cities are expected to generate 62 percent of global GDP;
Cities today are both the engines of innovation, economic growth, and tremendous economic activity but at the same time, they are a major source of pollution, emissions, dust, and noise.
The quality of the air we breathe affects all humans but especially the more than 4 billion people – more than half of the world – that live today in urban areas.
According to European Union (EU) data, the human toll for poor air quality is worse than for road traffic accidents, making it the number one environmental cause of premature death in the EU. Every year, more than 400 000 people in the EU die prematurely due to the consequences of air pollution. This is more than 10 times the toll of road traffic accidents.
Therefore, air pollution is an invisible killer: not just because we cannot always see it, but also because most of us are unaware of the widespread toll it takes, contributing to more than 7% of global deaths annually. The direct costs to society from air pollution, including damage to crops and buildings, amount to about €23 billion per year globally.
Finding better ways to fight air pollution in Cities is not an option, it is a must.

Industrial complexes and Ports
Ports are the gateways and transhipment hubs for international trade.
This globalization of trade makes maritime transport and ports a crucial sector of the world economy. Currently, over 80% of the world trade is carried by sea. Due to the ongoing increase in global trade, transport of a wide variety of goods through ports has been steadily increasing and will likely continue to increase in the future.
Ports are crucial infrastructure hubs of tremendous economic activity but they are also major sources of pollution, emissions, dust, and noise.
Ports are often located close to large urban areas, which gives ports additional responsibility for measuring and managing air pollution to mitigate in the best possible way the air pollution risk for millions of citizens.
Understanding the effect of port facilities on air quality is particularly difficult due to the inherent multimodal nature of the facilities.
With our Hyperlocal Air 360° approach we build on key improvements in high-resolution mobile air monitoring, data management, and above all analysis techniques and enable an effective technique to spatially and temporally characterize air pollution in areas near sources with data capture at a historically unprecedented scale, resolution, and quality.
