We provide a Rapid Response Unit to Monitor Air Quality during Bushfires
The main pollutant in wildfire smoke is particulate matter which can cause respiratory problems, we can rapidily deploy a monitoring team with specialist equipment to measure the harmful effects and provide an Air Quality Index (AQI) measuring the air quality in your precise location.
This service is provided to a wide range of clients, individuals, local businesses, land owners, forestry and construction companies and local authorities.
Within minutes of being on site we can provide an Air Quality Report
Each Report Shows:
Exact Location of Measurement
Wind Speed and Direction
AQI Rating: Good - Moderate - Unhealthy - Hazardous
The reports can sent by SMS, WhatsApp or Email to all interested Parties
“Portable instruments can be moved around the local area to ensure informed decisions can be easily made”
We use fully calibrated instruments to measure:
Particulate Matter (PM) 10 and 2.5 Concentrations
PM 10 particles are small enough to pass through the throat and nose and enter the lungs. Once inhaled, these particles can affect the heart and lungs and cause serious health effects
Breathing in unhealthy levels of PM2.5 can increase the risk of health problems like heart disease and asthma. Unhealthy levels can also reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy.
Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide Levels (ppm)
Along with Wind Speed and Direction, Temperature and Humidity
To obtain an Air Quality Index (AQI): Good - Moderate - Unhealthy - Hazardous
