Sky High Launches Air Quality Monitoring Service
05 November 2008
Sky High has recently added roadside air quality monitoring to its range of services in an exclusive agreement with the Signal Group, leading UK manufacturers of gas analysers, systems and accessories for monitoring emissions to air.
Sky High has exclusive rights to undertake air quality surveys on behalf of clients using the StreetBox urban pollution monitor. The StreetBox was developed to monitor the air quality effects of traffic flow, providing real-time recording of local pollution levels. Using a microprocessor-controlled logger, the StreetBox can monitor and record information on a whole range of airborne pollutants and cross reference them to site-specific data such as temperature and relative humidity.
A wide range of sensor configurations is possible, with options for up to three electrochemical gas sensors, PM monitor, met sensors and sound. The logger has the capability to record up to several months of time-stamped 15min averages. All data gathered is held in memory by an on-board lithium cell which allows all operational settings to be retained without external supply.
The StreetBox Urban pollution monitoring service from Sky High will provide local authorities and other clients with a cost-effective means of gathering air quality data for local air quality management studies and environmental impact assessments.
