The company is set apart from other air quality monitor manufacturers, by its commitment to proving the quality of the data gathered using its devices. This is demonstrated by the fact that it is one of only a handful of manufacturers who have sought MCERTS certification for their PM data and independent third party validation for the gas data.
One difficulty for purchasers is choosing from the many providers of low-cost air quality monitors. With no universal standard for air quality monitoring, how is it possible to judge whether or not your investment will generate high quality, accurate data suitable for demonstrating compliance, decision making and policy setting?
Purchasers remain sceptical about air quality data from low-cost devices. Given the lack of independent verification of products in this sector, this is not an unreasonable response.
We at South Coast Science have long known that, as in any scientific endeavour, what matters is independent verification of our results. Our application to MCERTS was the culmination of nearly 3 years of data interpretation at reference sites around the UK, refining and testing our data validation methods.
For more detail on the process for data validation at South Coast Science please watch this video, where CEO Bruno Beloff describes the process used to achieve near-equivalence for our Praxis/Urban monitor in comparison to the best reference equipment.
Praxis monitors use Alphasense sensor technology and maintain a high sampling rate (10 sec) to provide real-time air quality data. Yet costs remain low enough for the products to be installed in a network across an industrial site, along a high-traffic corridor or across a city. They are specifically designed to obtain accurate data over an extended period of time with the following product features:
