Air pollution is an issue which all of us experience every day. The menace of air pollution has increased to the extent that 9 out of 10 people in the world are breathing polluted air, according to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO). Such sickening air is killing millions of people every year by numerous diseases caused by air pollution.

At this scale, it is not just a matter of great concern from a public health perspective. The risks and damages increased due to air pollution are also creating a huge economic burden and losses.

With increasing awareness of the impacts of air pollution, the demand for cleaner air is increasing dramatically around the globe. However, the continuous deterioration of air quality is showing us that our current approaches to reduce air pollution are clearly not producing desired results. We need to change the way we tackle air pollution to be able to effectively reduce it. Air pollution sensors are central to that paradigm shift in air pollution management.

Oizom provides solutions to one of the most challenging aspects of tackling air pollution which is accurately measuring the concentration of air pollutants in the air. Sensor-based air quality monitors such as Oizom’s PolludroneTM not only change the way we measure air pollution; it changes the way we manage it.
