Let's act for a healthier Air9 out of 10 people
9 out of 10 people breathe polluted air worldwide. WHO
12,000
liters of air inhaled per day on average by each person, without knowing its quality or composition.
5 to 7 times more polluted
Indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air and is among the top 5 environmental risks to public health.

Reducing exposure,
but why?
Air pollution is a threat to health and the environment; it is the leading harmful environmental factor and is associated with 7 million premature deaths each year.
Short- and long-term exposure to air pollution can affect all organs and lead to various diseases or exacerbate pre-existing conditions.
Adults as well as children are affected; more than 90% of children worldwide breathe polluted air every day. Cleaner air could have saved 178,000 lives across the EU in 2019.
Making air quality visible is necessary to improve health and take meaningful action.

Air quality modeling is carried out using Meersens’ proprietary models. These statistical models can predict pollutant concentrations anywhere in the world, on an hourly basis, with a street-level resolution.
The models are trained with two inputs: a network of over 10,000 ground monitoring stations distributed worldwide and satellite images to obtain background pollution levels. Combined with contextual data (topography, roads and traffic, population density, land use, etc.), this allows for a revolutionary modeling of pollutants, providing you with accurate, reliable, and hyperlocal information on air quality.
93.7%
Average accuracy of air quality models.
Accuracy is calculated hourly by comparing modeling results to approximately 10,000 ground monitoring stations in terms of American AQI classes.

The accuracy of air quality models is evaluated multiple times each day.
Sensors
Monitor indoor air pollution.
On average, we spend 80 to 90% of our time indoors, where the air is 5 to 7 times more polluted than outside. This is due to numerous factors and pollutants that can impact health.
Business leaders have a regulatory obligation to ensure indoor air quality, not only to comply with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies but also to optimize the work environment and improve Quality of Life at Work (QWL). By doing so, they can enhance cognitive abilities and reduce absenteeism rates.

Meersens Air Quality Index (MAQI)
The air quality index represents an overall air quality based on pollutant concentration. However, different countries have various air quality indices linked to different pollutant concentrations. Thus, depending on the country and the reference period, the health risk and air quality index change.
In this context, Meersens has decided to develop a new index, the MAQI (Meersens Air Quality Index), combining its current and historical indices to simplify them for better public understanding. The index is based on pollutant concentrations according to WHO standards and those of countries around the world, depending on the duration of exposure. In this new air quality index, the health risk of a given concentration indicates the time a person can remain exposed to pollutants before there is a health risk. This remains relevant compared to other indices as it allows for a better understanding of risks and formulating recommendations to prevent risks related to exposure to poor air quality.

❄️ HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Systems
Optimize the performance and energy efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Real estate companies are looking to improve the air quality of their buildings while reducing energy costs.
By integrating real-time data on indoor and outdoor air quality into HVAC systems, they automatically adjust parameters based on pollutant levels and weather conditions. This improves the quality of life for occupants while optimizing costs. This approach adds value to HVAC systems by making them more efficient and tailored to the specific needs of the buildings.
🏢 CSR Companies
Ensure a healthy and productive work environment.
A company aims to guarantee the health and well-being of its employees by monitoring indoor air quality. Air quality sensors are installed in offices, meeting rooms, workspaces, and production areas. These sensors monitor levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), fine particles (PM), humidity, and temperature.
By monitoring and maintaining good indoor air quality, the company can reduce health risks for employees, increase their productivity, and decrease absenteeism related to respiratory issues and illnesses linked to poor air quality.
🏙️ Smart Cities
Ensure public health and well-being.
A city wants to monitor air quality in real-time across its various neighborhoods to comply with air quality regulations and take preventive measures against air pollution.
To achieve this, it is considering two approaches: modeling in a specific area or deploying air quality sensors in strategic locations such as intersections, industrial zones, and parks. By collecting data on levels of fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other air pollutants, the city can implement more effective policies and regulations to reduce pollution, protect public health, and improve the quality of life for its residents.
