AQM 60 Air Quality AQM 60 Air Quality StationStation

Low-Cost and Compact Air Quality Monitoring

AQM 60 Air Quality Stations deliver precise measurement data in real time for a wide range of air quality criteria in a compact and modular package. Measureable parameters include Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Non-methane Hydrocarbons (NMHC), and Particulate Matter by mass (PM10 and PM2.5) or size distribution (0.3 to 10 μm 8-channels).

Aeroqual's analytic sensor technology affords high performance within a flexible platform. The modular design of the AQM 60 also facilitates cost-effective service. External sensors can be integrated that measure temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, environmental noise, solar radiation and other meteorological parameters. Data is stored on an SD Card and remotely accessible in real time via GSM modem, low power radio, Ethernet or other communications.

The AQM 60 Air Quality Station meets the global trend for real time measurement of air quality in the micro-environment. This is driven by the need to answer important questions in localized areas of human habitation (e.g. streets, roads, urban canyons, schools, shopping centers, local communities and industrial perimeters) using newer, smaller, lower cost, intelligent measurement technology linked by inexpensive network communication systems.
