What we measure

Air quality

Air quality has a significant impact on human health. Its poor condition in long term can cause many types of cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, eczema or allergies. Modern technologies now allow very easy, inexpensive, hyperlocal and long-lasting measurement of concentrations of many types of hazardous substances such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur or tropospheric ozone.

Particulate matter

PM10

< 10 um

Particulates and their danger vary according to their size. Particulates smaller than 10 micrometers penetrate into the larynx and lower respiratory tract. 

PM4.0

< 4 um

Particulates smaller than 4 micrometers are an intermediate group between PM10 and more dangerous PM2.5. They do not get through the larynx and lower airways to the bronchi.

PM2.5

< 2,5 um 

Particulates smaller than 2.5 micrometers settle in the bronchi, so they hit our body more significantly compared to larger particulates.

PM1

< 1 um

Very fine particulates smaller than 1 micrometer are the most dangerous type. They settle in the alveoli, and particulates below 0.1um pass into the bloodstream.

Other elements

NO2

NITROGEN DIOXIDE

Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide can cause mucosal irritation, especially in young children and people with asthma. In hight concentrations it can cause poisoning of the organism.

SO2

SULFUR DIOXIDE

Sulphur dioxide causes irritation of the mucous membranes, promotes bronchitis and can cause asthma. It is formed by burning fossil fuels in domestic heating and industrial plants.

CO

CARBON MONOXIDE

Carbon monoxide acts on the heart, vascular and nervous systems and can cause poisoning and death in high concentrations. It is caused by imperfect burning, it enters the air by leakage from industrial plants.

O3

GROUND OZONE

Tropospheric or ground-level ozone occurs just above the ground, most often in low-traffic areas in the summer months. Causes headaches, respiratory tract and eye irritation.

Current meteorological conditions

As well as knowledge of current air quality, monitoring of current meteorological conditions increases the quality of life. This service helps to better plan the technical service interventions, gardening, the movement of vulnerable groups outdoors under heavy loads, e.g. in summer. Each installed weather station provides monitoring of total precipitation, air temperature and humidity, wind direction and speed, and air pressure.

In addition to meteorological conditions, it is also possible to monitor soil moisture using sensitive soil sensors. This solution is suitable, for example, for parks or sports fields, where it will help prevent damage to lawns during the heat-intensive summer months.

We use the latest technology

All devices operated under the service Agdatacity.cz are built on the latest wireless and sensor technologies and 
developed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. The measured data is securely archived and made available through a hosted page or widget that can be integrated into your website.

Complete air quality monitoring

Complete monitoring station equipped with high-quality sensors for measuring concentrations:

  • PM - particulate matter up to 1 um
  • NO2 - nitrogen dioxide
  • SO2 - sulphur dioxide
  • O3 - ground (tropospheric) ozone 
  • CO - carbon monoxide

Data is sent at regular 5-15 min intervals using LoraWan or NBiot wireless networks.

Installation is possible on the wall of the municipality building, e.g. kindergartens and primary schools, street lamps, traffic lights, etc. The installation site must be equipped with a 220V supply. The service does not include electrical installation.

Complete monitoring of meteorological conditions

Complete professional weather station. Equipped with sensors for measuring:

  • total precipitation
  • air temperature and humidity
  • atmospheric pressure
  • wind direction and speed

Data is sent at regular 5-15 min intervals using LoraWan or NBiot wireless networks.

Installation is possible on the wall of the municipality building, e.g. kindergartens and primary schools, street lamps, traffic lights, etc. If a 220V power supply is available at the installation site, we provide a standard heated version of the weather station, which is able to measure even snowfalls. If the 220V supply is not available, the battery version is provided. The service does not include electrical installation.

Soil moisture monitoring

Soil moisture measurement by a sensitive sensor that can be placed at a depth/distance of up to 5m from the transmitter.

Up to 8 measuring points can be placed for each transmitter within the service.

Data is sent at regular 5-15 min intervals using LoraWan or NBiot wireless networks.

The device does not need a 220V supply.
