What makes MCERTS certification so crucial in the field of air quality monitoring?
MCERTS, short for “Monitoring Certification Scheme”, is a framework of performance standards managed by the EA for environmental monitoring equipment. It represents a critical certification, ensuring that emissions monitoring systems adhere to the International Standards and European Directives for data quality and product performance. The MCERTS for Indicative Ambient Particulate Monitors involves rigorous field and laboratory tests to demonstrate product’s performance requirements compliance, as well as a manufacturing audit to assess the Management System used for the manufacture of the product. This certification is particularly pertinent to air quality monitoring, where the delivery of accurate and defensible data is paramount for environmental impact assessment and regulatory compliance.
Why does MCERTS certification matter so much for Airly?
Airly is renowned for its state-of-the-art air quality monitoring solutions, celebrated for their precision and accessibility. Our air quality monitors are engineered to provide real-time insights into air quality at specific locations, offering valuable support to the local governments, organizations, individuals, and communities in making informed decisions to enhance air quality and reduce exposure to pollutants.
What sets Airly’s air quality solution apart is its real-time, localized, and user-friendly approach to measuring criteria air pollutants. It delivers invaluable information on contaminants such as particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and more. By providing continuous updates and historical data, Airly empowers individuals and communities to make informed choices regarding their daily activities, enabling them to steer clear of harmful pollutants and improve overall well-being.
The system’s alerting capabilities, community engagement features, and huge potential for integration further amplify its utility, making Airly an indispensable tool in the battle against air pollution and a catalyst for positive environmental transformation.
