EarthSense, today announced a partnership with GISCAD, a Portugal-based geomatics and civil engineering solutions company, to bring its air quality monitoring solutions and services to Portugal, Angola and Mozambique.
GISCAD provides a range of advanced technology equipment, software and technical support to its clients in the geomatics, engineering, construction and architecture sectors. Its partnership with EarthSense will see GISCAD distribute the flagship Zephyr sensor and MyAir web application as part of its solutions package to assist with geographic information systems (GIS), agriculture and forestry applications, among many others.
The EarthSense Zephyr real-time monitor takes accurate measurements of ambient air pollutants including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10, TVOC). The data is fed back to the MyAir web application where it can be analysed and downloaded to track short and long-term pollution patterns and identify areas of interest, allowing users and policymakers to prioritise areas that require strategic change. MyAir also allows a public-facing portal to be implemented, allowing employees at both GISCAD and its respective clients to check on air quality levels in the local area.
