Industry Applications

Louisiana’s Cancer Alley has roughly 200 fossil fuel and petrochemical plants. Air pollution emissions disproportionately harm Black and low-income communities and threaten public health.

Urban planning can reduce air pollution through the use of public transportation, green spaces, and smart city design to create healthier, cleaner urban environments.

City-led air quality sensor networks are expanding to deliver real-time, local data and improve public health insights.

Discover why every modern major city should invest in a low-cost air quality sensor network. The data provided by these networks promotes public health, community awareness, and stronger policy enforcement — all at a much lower cost than traditional air quality monitoring solutions.

Explore the health impacts of coal dust and PM10 air pollution, how coal mining and transport contribute to emissions, and how to monitor and reduce exposure.

Which workers face the most exposure to dust air pollution? Explore PM10 risks across industries and how to reduce adverse health impacts.

Mining activities release PM10 dust that degrades air quality, endangers worker and community health, and damages nearby vegetation and water sources. Various engineering and safety measures, including the measurement of air pollution from mining operations, can help reduce exposure.

Agriculture contributes to both greenhouse gas and dust (PM10) air pollution emissions, which affect air quality, climate, and crop yields. Monitoring and managing these emissions can help create healthier farming environments.

Industrial facilities such as metallurgical, mineral, and wood product manufacturers release dust particles (PM10) that affect air quality and public health. Monitoring these emissions helps reduce exposure and protect nearby communities.

Construction activities generate dust—also known as PM10 air pollution—that can harm workers and nearby residents, contributing to respiratory issues and long-term health risks. Monitoring and mitigation strategies are necessary to reduce PM10 exposure and improve air quality near active construction projects.
