One device to measure the most important air pollutants and greenhouse gases at once

In 2020 MIRO Analytical received the prestigious and highly competitive EIC Accelerator Pilot grant  (Grant Agreement No.: 945842).

MIRO Analytical AG was among the 75 selected companies out of 1853 SMEs who applied for funding and received in total 278 million euros.

Data on air pollution and greenhouse gases are important to protect the population from harmful air pollution and to monitor and guide the way to carbon neutrality. Today, however, precise ambient air monitoring requires different instruments for each individual pollutant or greenhouse gas to be measured, resulting in bulky and expensive instruments installed in fixed monitoring stations and operated by specialized staff.

The EU-funded EnviroLAS project proposes a compact instrument for advanced pollution monitoring based on direct laser spectroscopy that allows measurement of six pollutants and four greenhouse gases permanently, simultaneously and accurately. The instrument will be easily transportable due to its reduced dimensions and weight and will have 75% reduced operational costs and 40% lower start-up costs, and reduced dimensions (60x50x15cm) and weight (25kg) compared to existing devices. It will address the urgent demand to monitor main air pollutants and greenhouse gases in-situ in a more cost-effective and dynamic way.

 

Project objectives

EU air monitoring authorities need to monitor air pollution and greenhouse gases to develop and control emission reduction strategies and to observe and improve ambient air quality in our cities

Currently each pollutant gas is measured with a separate instrument

We aim to replace the current complex monitoring equipment with one compact easy to use instrument that enables autonomous monitoring of air quality.

 

Current solutions:

• Bulky
• Expensive
• Requires experienced operators

MIRO Analytical has created an all-in-one instrument that measures up to 6 different pollutants and 4 greenhouse gases.

The benefits of our product are:

• Easy in use
• Compact size
• High precision monitoring

MIRO Analytica’s instrument provides a complete environmental air analysis in just one device.

 

Key applications areas:

• Environmental and atmospheric science.
• Regulated ambient air monitoring by government authorities.
• Mobile monitoring in the cities and urban areas.
• Ambient air monitoring at industrial sites.
