This article from WAPO highlights the dramatic reduction in air pollution due to Covid-19 BUT it also points out the challenges of reducing emissions from the vast infrastructure already in place. “Although the decline in emissions during the pandemic may have been unprecedented, it was relatively small when it comes to combating global warming. The peak 17 percent decline in global emissions — which occurred in early April — meant nations continued to generate more than 80 percent of carbon pollution. “
Nations, industry and consumer need to commit to investing in green energy and a global monitoring network to ensure compliance and track progress. At Piera Systems, our Piera-1 Intelligent Particle Sensor embedded in IoT devices can provide the kind of accurate, real-time data at low cost required to monitor and improve Air Quality.
If your company is building Air purifiers, HVAC systems, Air quality monitors, Vape/Smoke detectors or any other application that would benefit from this type of data you should get one of our Evaluation Kits or contact us to find out more.
