 With rising concerns over the number of non-attainment cities across the country, continuous air quality monitoring is gaining momentum. 122 non-attainment cities have been identified by the National Clean Air Program. In order to address the persistent pollutant levels in these cities, a robust network of air quality monitors is required. The selection of an effective air quality monitor is the foremost step for collecting relevant and actionable data. These of operation and installation is one of the primary factors along with reliability, accessibility, and connectivity options. The device should be capable of accurately monitoring pollutant concentration. This accuracy is ensured by a robust calibration procedure. Additionally, it is essential for the device to measure a diverse set of parameters while being compact and lightweight. Options for backup should be included such as a battery in cases of power failure or overcasts and data storage capabilities in situations where real-time transmission to the terminal is compromised. Oysons e-breathing technology along with specialized features such as over-the-air update, three-level calibration model, modular design, and multiple connectivity options ensure seamless data monitoring and visualization. Furthermore, air quality monitors should be equipped with user-friendly dashboards to view the data in an interactive and flexible manner. The Pelludrone product variants have been conceptualized on these basic principles in order to enhance data reliability. Variants provide flexibility in the number and type of parameters to be monitored depending on the user requirements. These variants, however, do not compromise on the sensor technology or accuracy. Thereby, the selection of air quality monitors is a complex task and includes looking at both the technical and economical viability of the product.
