Outdoor air quality and health and safety of hospitals

BlueSky air quality monitors, designed for outdoor use and sometimes used indoors, are small, lightweight instruments to meet specific health and safety standards.

Globally, there is an increasing awareness of environmental health and the air quality we breathe. This has put pressure on those generating pollutants, like fugitive emissions, to increase their monitoring, control and reporting activities. Construction, vehicle emissions, and power generations are inevitable in India’s densely populated areas. The dust and fumes from the job sites, roads, and heavy industry buildings are unpleasant to be around and often enter through a building’s HVAC system, significantly affecting indoor air quality (IAQ). With India’s sprawling cities and already poor air quality, it is becoming a serious health issue– for hospitals; air quality is a priority to protect patients and staff. 

Fugitive emissions are pollutants released into the air from cracked seals, pipes and other unintended areas. Fugitive emissions can also be defined as unintentional emissions from facilities or activities—for example, road construction—that cannot reasonably pass through a vent, stack, chimney, or another functionally equivalent opening. These emissions are fine particles (PM10 and PM2.5), aerosols and dust, significantly impacting air quality and understanding that your IAQ is only as good as your HVAC system and the air that passes through it from outside are essential. Poor outdoor air can equate to harder-working HVAC systems. Reduce system repair costs by monitoring the air quality, ensuring it doesn’t negatively impact the inside.

Many monitoring agencies request realtime air quality data from companies to prove their fugitive emissions levels meet regulations. If emission levels exceed the limit, monitoring agencies can administer consequences. Activities such as demolition and groundwork can create large amounts of dust and other harmful emissions, and their effects can be made worse by contaminated lands and hazardous materials. Hospitals must account for outside air pollution to protect their patients, ensuring they are not exposed to excessive pollutants during their hospitalization. 

Are you looking for an award-winning, reliable, affordable alternative to expensive air monitoring equipment? Designed for outdoor use and sometimes used indoors, BlueSky Air Quality Monitors are small, lightweight instruments to ensure specific health and safety standards are met. Each easy-to-install monitor can transmit real-time data to the cloud for secure 24/7 remote viewing on an interactive map. You can either operate the BlueSky air quality monitor individually or deploy multiple to build a network of sensors that accurately report real-time, hyperlocal air quality measurements. Seeing and sharing your data has never been easier. 

Unlike other small, low-cost air quality monitors on the market, BlueSky Air Quality Monitors come factory calibrated to improve the readings of the devices. BlueSky monitors also come with self-diagnostics to ensure that the data collected is, and remains, reliable.
