Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
To conclude, we will address some of the most common questions companies might have about our service:
How is air quality measured? We use a variety of techniques and technologies to measure air quality, including particle monitors, gas sensors, and sampling techniques. Regarding the type of data we can obtain, we work with regulatory stations and portable sensors with cloud access.
How can emissions be reduced? Emission reduction can be achieved through a variety of methods, including improving work practices, implementing emission control technologies, and optimizing production processes.
How can the contribution of my company’s sources be determined? We use US EPA receptor models plus an intensive monitoring campaign of chemical species of particulate matter or volatile organic compounds to determine the contribution of the main sources impacting some receptor or air quality monitoring station.
How can operational decision-making and KPIs be improved? Operational decision-making and KPIs in air quality and emission control can be achieved thanks to robust models and air quality forecasting systems, which allow for effective and timely response to episodes or environmental alerts due to atmospheric pollution.
How long does it take to see improvements? The time it takes to notice significant changes in air quality will depend on each company’s specific situation. However, many companies begin to see improvements in air quality and pollution reduction within a period of weeks to months after implementing the recommendations from our service.
