Surging Air Pollution Fueling Air Quality Monitoring Product Demand in North America

According to the World Bank, in 2019, the urban population of the U.S. stood at 270.66 million, accounting for 82.459% of the total population of the country. Whereas, the urban population of Canada stood at 30.63 million in 2019, accounting for 81.482% of the population of the nation. The increasing urban population is one of the primary reasons behind the surging air pollution levels, as it is responsible for the increasing number of vehicles in these countries. According to the government of Canada, most of the pollution is caused by forest fires, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from vegetation, and volcanic eruptions.


This Agenda aims to restore and protect the quality of the natural environment in the region. Additionally, the rapid industrialization in North American countries has also contributed to the high air pollution levels in the region. People residing in highly polluted areas are more susceptible to cancerous diseases than those residing in areas having cleaner air. Due to rapid industrialization, it has become essential to access air quality data. In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO) created a global platform on air quality and health to ensure open-access to air quality data across the world.

The indoor and outdoor products are deployed in government agencies and academic institutes, petrochemical companies, commercial and residential facilities, pharmaceutical firms, and power generation plants to monitor particulates such as road vehicle dusts, earth crustal materials, combustion particles, and secondarily formed aerosols. Additionally, air quality monitoring products are also used to monitor pollutants such as ammonia (NH3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM) 2.5, PM 10, lead, carbon monoxide, arsenic, ozone, and nickel.


Thus, the soaring urban population and rising government initiatives for creating awareness regarding the harmful impacts of air pollution will augment the need for air quality monitoring products in in North America in the coming years.
