Guillermo del Campo participó en el Webinar: ¿Pueden los Sensores Ambientales y de Calidad del Aire mejorar la calidad de vida en las Ciudades Inteligentes?

Our researcher Guillermo del Campo participated on February 24, 2023 in the Webinar: Can Environmental and Air Quality Sensors Improve Quality of Life in Smart Cities? In this webinar, a panel of experts gathered to discuss how environmental and air quality sensors can be integrated into new or existing IoT networks and contribute to citizen-centric, safe and climate resilient urban communities.

In Nasushiobara, Japan, Paradox Engineering installed more than 400 smart streetlights, 30 pyranometers and 10 environmental sensors to predict solar radiation and contribute to energy efficiency and clean energy generation. Worldwide, more than 6,000 cities in 117 countries are installing air quality sensors to monitor air pollution, a problem that affects 99% of the world's population according to a World Health Organization study. City managers need accurate, localized, real-time data on air quality, temperature, urban heat, humidity, noise and more to observe changing environmental conditions and their impact on people's health, while ensuring compliance with sustainability goals and regulations. Environmental data can also be beneficial in the early detection of hazardous situations such as earthquakes, floods and extreme weather conditions, supporting the early intervention of local authorities and law enforcement in case of need. With environmental sensors being a mature technology, today they can move from simple monitoring tools to enablers of decision-making processes for healthier, safer and more livable cities.
