End-to-end outdoor air quality monitoring solutions, delivering real-time environmental intelligence for cities, communities, and critical infrastructure.
Outdoor air quality is continuously shaped – by traffic, industry, weather, and infrastructure – in ways that rarely align with discrete measurement points. Yet it’s commonly approached through isolated studies or stand-alone stations, producing data that’s difficult to compare, defend, or act upon. Airscan addresses this fragmentation with custom monitoring networks with high spatial resolution for air quality that long-term environmental management – and more intelligent urban systems – rely on.
Airscan delivers outdoor air quality monitoring as a fully managed system. Each deployment is designed, implemented, and operated as a coherent whole – covering strategy, infrastructure, data integrity, and long-term performance – enabling a city-wide representation of air quality as a functioning system.
Each monitoring network structured using our spatial and contextual placement logic, ensuring coverage improves our understanding of air and pollutant dynamics.
Airscan delivers a unified monitoring architecture, combining hardware, communications, and data layers into an easy to manage system that enables better analysis of outdoor air quality behavior.
Sensor accuracy and system performance are governed through our calibration and quality-management framework over its full lifecycle.
Measurements translated into live intelligence layer designed to integrate with broader urban systems and smarter cities.
We assume long-term stewardship of the monitoring system, maintaining continuity as conditions, usage, and objectives evolve.
Data is interpreted using our environmental and contextual models, producing insights suitable for planning, regulation, and strategic action.
Outdoor air quality monitoring at scale is a system design challenge. Performance depends on how parameters are defined, where networks are deployed and how data is maintained. Airscan structures these elements into a single operating architecture so environmental data remains reliable, easy-to-understand and easy-to-interpret.
Airscan establishes the parameter architecture at the outset of every outdoor monitoring programme. Required pollutants and environmental variables are defined, weighted, and configured based on project objectives, exposure contexts, and decision requirements. This step determines how the monitoring network behaves, what patterns can be resolved, and which conclusions can be defended over time.

Airscan governs the technology layer of its outdoor air quality monitoring system. We select, commission, and operate hardware within our assurance framework to meet defined performance, reliability, and lifecycle requirements across long-term deployments.
Our system deploys independently validated monitoring technology, including equipment manufactured by Kunak, recognized through external programmes such as US EPA, MCERTS, AQ-SPEC, and multiple Airlab awards.
Our outdoor air quality monitoring system will be calibrated and optimized to the operational, spatial, and data requirements of the following environments and use cases:
Continuous city-scale monitoring that makes urban environmental conditions visible, connected, and actionable across districts and systems.
Site & perimeter monitoring that provides continuous visibility into industrial air quality patterns & emission behaviour.
High-density monitoring for complex, mixed-source environments where operational activity & public exposure intersect.
Baseline & impact monitoring for large-scale projects, enabling environmental tracking throughout development phases.
Airscan operates outdoor air quality monitoring as a continuously managed system. Performance, consistency, and comparability are maintained so the monitoring network remains reliable without requiring internal oversight or specialist intervention from you.
Calibration, maintenance, and performance checks are executed as ongoing operational processes. Data is monitored for continuity and coherence across locations and over time, ensuring trends remain meaningful and that the system continues to reflect real environmental conditions.
