The Air Initiatives
A COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM BY OIZOM
Air pollution is more than an environmental issue – it’s a public health emergency. Addressing it requires more than just advanced technology; it demands collaboration, innovation, and bold ideas.
At Oizom, we believe that real change happens when academia meets industry. That’s why we launched The AIR Initiatives (Academic-Industry Research Initiative) – a global collaboration platform to empower students, researchers, and universities to work with Oizom on cutting-edge environmental solutions.
Whether you’re developing new sensor technologies, analysing air quality data, or exploring AI applications in environmental monitoring, we invite you to co-create, learn, and lead with us.

Activities Carried Out by Oizom
1. Monitoring Historic Air – University Research
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Milan monitors air quality inside the historic Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Saronno to protect the artistic heritage and the precious works preserved inside. In collaboration with X Ear Pro Srl, Oizom’s Polludrone units have been deployed both outside on the lantern and inside the chapel, home to masterpieces by Andrea da Corbetta, Bernardino Luini, and Camillo Procaccini.
2. Study of Vertical Variation in Air Quality – University Research
Oizom, in collaboration with L. D. Engineering student, conducted a research study on the Vertical Variation of Pollutants in Urban Environment in Ahmedabad from Dec 2019 – Mar 2020 to analyze how air pollutant concentrations vary with building height in an urban setting. Using Oizom’s low-cost air quality monitor, Polludrone, air quality data for PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, CO, NO, and NO₂ was collected at three different heights—ground floor, 7th floor, and 14th floor – across five high-rise residential buildings. The study revealed that PM and NO levels were highest at the ground floor due to proximity to vehicular emissions, while NO₂ peaked at the middle floor owing to chemical conversion from NO, and CO also showed a similar trend. These findings highlight the influence of landscape and atmospheric conditions – such as building height, street layout, wind speed, and temperature – on vertical pollutant dispersion. The study underscores the importance of vertical air quality profiling in improving urban planning, building ventilation design, and indoor air quality, showcasing Oizom’s commitment to impactful academic-industry collaborations for environmental insight and action.
3. Research on Urban Mobility Air Quality – Student Research
A collaborative research study was conducted by CEPT University students in partnership with Oizom Instruments, focusing on mobile air quality monitoring for urban assessment in Rajkot. The project used real-time monitoring devices mounted on Rajkot Municipal Transport Service (RMTS) buses, enabling dynamic data collection across the city. The study covered different zone types-residential, industrial, commercial, highway, agricultural, open land, and mixed zones. This study offered a comprehensive view of how air quality varies with land use and urban infrastructure.
