144 Vaisala has acquired new products and technology from Finnish company Envitems to expand its offering in the growing air quality monitoring market. The products acquired measure pollution gases, like carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and ozone, as well as particles in the air. The products can be combined seamlessly with Vaisala industry-leading WXT multi-weather stations, and they present a novel, innovative way to build affordable but comprehensive air quality monitoring networks.

Vaisala expects short-term opportunities in particular in markets like China, India and the Middle East, where air quality is an everyday problem and a growing concern.

The products can be integrated into comprehensive air quality monitoring networks which provide specific information on where pollution is generated and which areas are influenced by it. They can also be used as instruments that supplement the data provided by reference measurement stations.

Vaisala also offers a software platform which can be used to make the air quality measurements easily available for various authorities and business use as well as the public. It also offers interfaces allowing flexible use for various current and future applications. The platform can also be used to support air quality forecast development.
