Air quality
Understand the air today. Anticipate how it may change tomorrow.
Libelium combines environmental sensing, calibration expertise and advanced digital modelling to help cities and public authorities understand urban air-quality conditions, evaluate mobility and Low Emission Zone scenarios, and measure the impact of interventions over time.
Urban Air-Quality Intelligence
Understand conditions across Low Emission Zones and the wider territory.
Mobility & Scenario Modelling
Compare access restrictions and mobility changes before applying them.
Trusted Environmental Data
Calibration expertise behind every single measurement.
THE CHALLENGE
Air quality decisions need more than isolated measurements
Environmental monitoring tells you what is happening at a specific place and time. Effective air-quality management requires connecting those observations with their spatial context, mobility patterns, meteorology and future scenarios.
Libelium brings these layers together so organisations can move from detecting pollution to understanding its behaviour, evaluating interventions and verifying their real impact.
MEASURE
Measure what is happening
Monitor pollutant concentrations and environmental conditions across strategically distributed urban locations.
TRUST
Trust the data
Combine field sensing, calibration expertise and environmental data-quality processes to create a stronger foundation for analysis.
UNDERSTAND
Understand the territory
Put environmental observations in context with spatial, meteorological and mobility information to understand where pollution concentrates and how conditions evolve.
SIMULATE
Design better urban interventions
Compare alternative mobility restrictions, access rules and urban interventions to understand their expected environmental impact before they are applied physically.

Libelium Calibration Lab: Calibration is part of the solution, not an afterthought
Environmental sensing only creates value when measurements can be trusted. Libelium combines field deployment knowledge with calibration and environmental data-quality expertise to create a stronger foundation for analysis.
Libelium Lab is a Calibration Laboratory accredited by ENAC, with accreditation No 285/LC10.250 according to UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17025.
CEN/TS 17660
Calibration Expertise
Support better measurement consistency through environmental calibration knowledge and reference processes.
Quality Control
