New Sound Level Sensor to control Noise Pollution
<p>Public authorities are concerned about environmental and human risks related to pollution, specially with gas emissions. But other kind of pollution also dramatically affects cities and inhabitants health. <strong>Noise pollution is increasing in urban areas</strong> mainly caused by the transport impact, civil works or the industry. In fact, the <a href="https://www.who.int/" title="World Health Organization " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">World Health Organization (WHO)</a> has stated that noise pollution is <strong>the second cause of illness for environmental reasons</strong>, after air pollution. The report explains how harmful for health is <strong>traffic noise that is currently affecting one in five Westerners</strong> that are regularly exposed to sound levels at night.</p> <p>The new Noise / Sound Level Sensor for Plug & Sense! has been designed following the specifications of the <strong>IEC 61672 standard for sound meters</strong>. Specifically with an <strong>accuracy of ±0.5 dBA (1KHz)</strong> similar to the Class 2 type devices. The value given is the <strong>LeqA (Equivalent continuous sound level, with A weighting)</strong> that allows to calculate the average sound pressure level during a period of time. Leq is often described as the average noise level during a noise measurement and it is the magnitude used for many regulations of noise control at work places and the street.

Libelium releases new IoT Smart Cities Platform enhancing accuracy in noise level and air quality pollution sensors
Today, at the Smart City Expo, Libelium presents the new generation of the IoT Sensor Plaform for Smart Cities with more accurate sound level</a> and air quality sensors. These sensors address current market demands of <strong>higher precision in measurements</strong> and are aimed to complete the pricey equipments like professional sonometers and weather stations to <strong>increase city capillarity on these services.
New Ion Sensor Probes “PRO” for Smart Water
<p>As requested by many of our clients we are adding <strong>new Ion Sensor Probes</strong> for the Plug & Sense! Smart Water Ions and the Sensor board (OEM version).</p> <p>These new sensor probes are named as "PRO" as they offer a <strong>better calibration cycle</strong> (they keep calibrated more days than the current probes). The underlying technology is not based on liquid chemicals but in solid membranes made of nanotubes of carbon so they simple last more time with the right calibration that the regular probes. The only drawback is that they are also more expensive. Read more.</p>
