Monitoring Historic Air
The University of Milan’s Department of Chemistry monitors air quality in the historic Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Saronno to protect its artistic heritage. With X Ear Pro Srl, Oizom Polludrone units are installed on the lantern and inside the chapel housing masterpieces by Corbetta, Luini, and Procaccini.
Year: July 2022 – Sept 2022
Status: ✔ Completed
Study of Vertical variation in Air Quality
Oizom, with an L.D. Engineering student, studied vertical air pollution in Ahmedabad (Dec 2019–Mar 2020). Using Polludrone, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, CO, NO, and NO₂ were measured at ground, 7th, and 14th floors of five buildings. PM and NO were highest at ground level, while NO₂ peaked mid-level due to NO conversion, showing how height and urban conditions affect pollutant dispersion.
Year: Dec 2019 – March 2020
Status: ✔ Completed
Research On Urban Mobility Air Quality
CEPT University students, in partnership with Oizom Instruments, conducted a mobile air quality study in Rajkot using real-time monitors mounted on RMTS buses. Data was collected across residential, industrial, commercial, highway, agricultural, open, and mixed zones, providing insights into how air quality varies with land use and urban infrastructure.
Year: Aug 2022 – Nov 2022
