AirQino empowers the public administration to deploy real-time, high-resolution air quality networks to monitor specific hotspots or cover extensive areas.

Monitoring stations can be configured with a wide set of sensors and are validated by Italian National Research Council (Istituto di Bioeconomia, CNR Firenze) using official EU reference stations (ARPA).

Data collected are centralized with an API application and smoothed with dedicated, proprietary algorithms to provide a user-friendly yet solid foundation for analyses that aim to identify pollution sources and study local dispersion dynamics.

Through its network of institutional trusted partners, the AirQino ecosystem aims at providing a multi-level solution. This starts with data and extends to targeted research, environmental assessments, and consultancy on actionable mitigation strategies such as Natured Based Solutions.

AirQino helps municipalities smoothly transition towards a Smart City paradigm.

Urban areas often feature several air pollution hotspots. These are typically the result of human activities, heating systems, traffic, heat islands and industrial activity. A typical medium-sized town can typically rely on, at most, two or three official monitoring stations, yet the vast majority of EU municipalities completely lacks any sort of coverage. 

Implementing an urban air quality monitoring system and collecting meaningful data is the first crucial step towards the definition of effective mitigation strategies. AirQino ecosystem was developed to provide a sustainable, yet scalable, solution to administrators that wish to embrace Smart Governance practices and leverage on the power of the Internet of Things (IoT). 

Evidence suggests that deploying environmental monitors throughout town, around schools or other critical public facilities, allows local administrators to better promote initiatives aimed at raising awareness on the importance of air quality and enforce mitigating strategies such as vehicle traffic reduction, pedestrianization, low emission zone introduction and others
