We measure the air. We understand the land.
Studies using passive samplers, fixed monitoring networks and odour impact assessments. We tailor sampling to your project's objectives to help you understand air quality.
Let's discuss your project- Passive sampling studies
- Sampler placement
- Fixed monitoring networks
- Odour impact
More measurement points. A broader view of the area.
Passive sampling studies make it possible to compare air quality across different locations and observe how it varies within the same area.
We plan campaigns around each project's research questions: identifying differences between streets, studying school environments or expanding the information available around existing monitoring points.
Let's discuss your studyA campaign tailored to your objectives
-
Define what we want to understand
Establish the study area, the questions to be answered and the information needed to guide the campaign design.
-
Plan the sampling locations
Select locations and sampling periods that make it possible to compare the areas of interest.
-
Organise fieldwork
Document installation, collection and any issues to maintain a record of each sampling location.
-
Interpret the results
Put the data into context and present the observed differences clearly, taking the study's limitations into account.
Urban environments
Compare locations and explore spatial differences in air quality.
School environments
Study air quality around schools and support citizen science initiatives.
Supporting monitoring
Provide complementary information about the surroundings of existing measurement points.
The samplers you need for your sampling campaign.
If you're organising a measurement campaign, contact us about passive sampler supply. We'll determine the required equipment based on the pollutant of interest, sampling locations and project schedule.
What do you want to measure?
Tell us which pollutant you're interested in and the objective of the study so we can identify suitable sampler options for your needs.
What is the scope?
Share the number of sampling locations and planned campaigns so we can determine the quantities and equipment required.
When will you start?
Let us know the dates and delivery location so we can check availability and coordinate the supply.
Let's prepare your enquiry
Send us the pollutant, approximate quantity and expected dates. If you also need support with study design, mention it in your message.
Observe the air. Track how it changes.
Fixed networks make it possible to track changes in air quality and provide continuous information about the environments we want to study.
We support the development of networks tailored to each project's objectives, from defining measurement points to connecting them to data management systems.
Let's discuss your networkA network designed as a whole
-
Objectives and locations
Define what needs to be observed and select locations according to the area, measurement requirements and installation conditions.
-
Equipment and installation
Determine the configuration of each monitoring point, the equipment required, and the power supply and communication needs.
-
Data connectivity and management
Organise the collection and storage of measurements so they can be accessed, reviewed and analysed.
-
Operational monitoring
Anticipate maintenance requirements, data reviews and the detection of incidents throughout the project.
The network goes beyond the equipment
We integrate monitoring with data validation and digital tools to make it easier to track, interpret and access the results.
Understand odours. Assess their impact.
We investigate odour issues by considering potential sources, the surrounding environment and the conditions under which episodes occur. The aim is to provide information that helps explain the situation and guide appropriate action.
Context and potential sources
Gather available information about the activities, locations and reported episodes to define the scope of the assessment.
Assessment tailored to the setting
Determine the methodology and observation or sampling requirements according to the questions to be answered and the characteristics of the case.
Interpretation and recommendations
Analyse the collected information as a whole, identify patterns and present the conclusions and any follow-up requirements.
Where, when and under what conditions?
Location, time, duration and weather conditions provide useful information for putting episodes into context and guiding investigations into potential sources.
From sampling to real-world projects.
Discover two applications of monitoring and passive samplers: the study of urban air and citizen participation in school environments.
ASCENDER: air quality at street level
Urban monitoring using sensors and passive samplers in Barcelona's Eixample district, in collaboration with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, to provide data for air quality research.
- Urban monitoring
- Passive samplers
- Environmental data
CleanAir@School: understanding air quality around schools
A citizen science project that connects air quality measurements around schools with public participation and environmental awareness.
- School environments
- Sampling
- Citizen participation
What do you need to measure in your area?
A passive sampling campaign, a monitoring network or an odour impact study. Tell us about your project's objectives and setting so we can define the next steps.
