Preventing asthma attacks in children with a sensor network that monitors air quality conditions in play areas

Asthma is one of the most frequent causes of absenteeism in schools. This disease, that affects the respiratory tract, can alter sleep, play and other activities necessary for proper child growth.

3D air quality modeling with sensor drones in Greece

Air pollution in Greece has been a serious environmental problem in the last decades. Rapid and disorganized urbanization of cities, lack of infrastructure and an increasing motor vehicle fleet in urban regions were the main causes of air quality deterioration in the country. Antonios Koutroumpas, student of the <a href="https://www.tuc.gr/el/archi" title="Technical University of Crete" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Technical University of Crete</a>, developed his Bachelor’s Thesis in Production Systems with the title: “Use of UAV (Unnamed Aerial Vehicles) for 3D visualization of air pollutants in urban areas,” in which a small drone equipped with Libelium’s wireless sensor platform <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/" title="Waspmote">Waspmote</a> was introduced for in-situ data acquisition. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/3d-air-quality-modeling-with-sensor-drones-in-greece/" title="Read more">Read more</a>.

Balearic Islands to become a smart tourist destination by expanding IoT sensor networks

The environmental report of ESPO (The European Sea Ports Organisation) for 2018 shows that air quality remains the main priority of European ports. Aware of this, the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands</a> has been working hard since 2016 to also know the level of air quality, capacity, alignment with the Environmental Policy of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands.

Libelium promotes health monitoring in the workplace with MySignals

The eHealth device, developed by Libelium, has participated in a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program for the promotion of healthy habits and health monitoring in the workplace.

New Weather Station Sensors integrated in Libelium’s IoT platform perform maximum accuracy

Libelium has developed a project to test the accuracy of weather stations that includes its IoT platform in comparison with the professional station of AEMET. In order to do this, Libelium's engineering team installed two <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/plug-sense/" title="Plug & Sense!">Plug & Sense!</a> nodes in the <a href="http://www.cusvaldespartera.es/" title="CUS Zaragoza" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sustainable Urbanism Center of Zaragoza</a> (Spain) requesting permission from AEMET to carry out the measurements in the same location and under the same conditions as its reference station. The results obtained in the comparative study show that the station behaves in parallel and with the same precision as the official AEMET meteorological station, both in terms of wind speed and direction and in terms of accumulated precipitation parameters. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/new-weather-station-sensors-integrated-in-libeliums-iot-platform-perform-maximum-accuracy/" title="Read more">Read more</a>.

EU project uses Libelium sensors to monitor ozone levels in volunteer homes

Ozone is one of the major pollutants in Europe, excessive exposure to ground-level ozone is estimated to cause about 20,000 premature deaths per year in Europe, according to the European Environment Agency.

Reducing Logistics’ environmental impact by air quality monitoring in the Baltic Sea Port of Gdansk, Poland

<a href="http://www.featureforest.pl/" title="Feature Forest" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Feature Forest</a> is a Polish start-up, specialized in developing software solutions for the IoT, taking advantage of data science methods. The company has successfully accomplished the so-called Space3ac Acceleration Program, a project which seeks the minimization of port activity impact as well as solving the problems of transportation industry players in the surrounding areas of the Gdansk Port. The fPerception system allows the immediate detection of hazardous chemical compounds polluting the air in real time. This project aims to localize the sources of air pollutants in the area of the port, such as the berthing of vessels, the heat and power plants, the cargo handling activities, the surrounding industry or the raising road and railway transport. Libelium technology is located nearby potential sources of pollution where information about gas concentration is correlated with wind direction and speed in order to predict and react in case of an emergency. <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/success-stories/reducing-logistics-environmental-impact-by-air-quality-monitoring-in-the-baltic-sea-port-of-gdansk-poland/" title="Read more">Read more</a>.
