We breathe 10,800 Liters or 11.52 Kilograms of Air Per day! Imagine the impact this has on our health!! Air quality is becoming more and more important for leading a healthy and good quality of life. Unfortunately, the Quality of Air is degrading rapidly around the world and that increases the occurrences of many respiratory diseases like Asthma, COPD, Cystic Fibrosis, Sleep Apnoea, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Hypertension and Lung Cancer, besides many others. There are proven short term and long-term health hazards. Do we need to think before we breathe?

Monitoring the Air Quality, Outdoors as well as Indoors is the first step toward a healthier living environment. The air composition around us must be known to take relevant corrective actions and mitigate identified problems. The air around us has many components and many of them become pollutants when they go beyond safe limits. Plus, human activities such as manufacturing, infrastructure development and burning fossil fuels release many such unwanted pollutants worsening the air quality. Whereas not all activities can be stopped, we can certainly limit the damage caused to our health if we have the knowledge of air around us.

Organizations such as WHO, EPA and CPCB in India are some of the regulatory bodies which monitor air quality and also release the guidelines for measuring and monitoring the same. Safe ranges are defined and a unique value is derived called Air Quality Index (AQI) which is indicative of the Air Quality. Subsequently, there are Outdoor AQI and Indoor AQI. The AQI number has since become a quick reference point to know the air quality of a particular environment.

Traditionally, wet chemistry based analytical instrumentation has been used for measuring the composition of air. This traditional method, although accurate, has its own very big limitations. The challenge of the large size of the equipment, the regular maintenance required, the technical personnel, the substantial continuous power supply, the operator space, air-conditioned environment required for these analyzers etc simply cannot be made available at many locations, and to many interested entities for a variety of reasons, huge CapEx and OpEx cost being two big deterrents. Hence, new age sensor-based systems are now the future of Air Quality Monitoring.

The new generation sensors are not only more economical to deploy, but also almost as accurate as the analyzers and have substantially increased lifespan of up to 5 years. They can be placed at any location and do not need any manpower to operate. Plus, they are always connected wirelessly and work with each other to form a network, which in turn provides a complete understanding of the dynamic air medium in an area or region of interest for all stakeholders.

As in every technology, there is a variety within the sensor space. Some sensors are made for satisfying the requirement of recording and providing very high accuracy legally defensible data, whereas some others are made to give an indicative data at a low cost. At Lisamed, we believe that sensor technology is the next primary way to measure air quality, and our patented very high quality – high accuracy sensors are the key to mould this change for the good of our environment. Lisamed focuses on such new technologies to bring suitable solutions to developing nations like India and surrounding countries.

Did you know that indoor air can actually be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air? Imagine the impact this has on our daily health, given how much time we spend inside! Addressing indoor air quality has become especially crucial for leading a healthy and good quality of life.

To tackle this growing challenge, advanced indoor monitoring solutions brought to the market by Lisamed utilize multi-sensor smart devices to continuously track a broad spectrum of air parameters. These include carbon dioxide (CO₂), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), particulate matter (PM₀.₃ through PM₁₀), and toxic gases like formaldehyde, ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), as well as ambient noise and thermal comfort. Coupled with cloud-based analytics platforms, these systems convert live sensor readings into clear, actionable insights—evaluating overall air quality scores, resistance to viral spread, ventilation efficiency, and mold risk. Plus, by leveraging diverse connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Cellular IoT, LoRaWAN, Ethernet, Modbus, and BACnet, these systems integrate directly into Building Management Systems (BMS) and HVAC controls to optimize energy usage, automate ventilation, and help facilities secure prestigious international certifications such as WELL, LEED, BREEAM, and RESET.

In parallel, high-precision portable monitoring and particle-counting instruments play a critical role across both everyday spaces and demanding technical environments. Modern handheld and desktop detectors utilize multi-channel optical sensors capable of profiling airborne particulate matter across multi-size spectrums (ranging from sub-micron 0.3 µm up to 10 µm), alongside carbon dioxide (CO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), ambient temperature, and humidity. Designed for versatility—spanning residential spaces, classrooms, and offices to controlled industrial facilities like cleanrooms and laboratories—these devices offered by Lisamed feature interactive touchscreens or high-contrast displays, audible hazard alarms, built-in data logging with export capabilities, and long-life battery modes. Equipped with mobile app synchronization and flexible wireless expansion (such as Wi-Fi and LoRa), such compact tools empower users to perform spot-check air audits, track continuous multi-room conditions, and verify environmental safety compliance.

Lisamed’s exclusive association with (Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring Systems | Aeroqual) has made Aeroqual’s patented high accuracy high fidelity sensors available in all markets in Indian sub-continent at a justifiable price and with full after sales and technical support from the team trained by Aeroqual in New Zealand. Recently, Lisamed’s commitment to better Air quality has ventured into the continuous monitoring of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) which is a significant part of the Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ). With the concept of Smart Buildings and Health Buildings finding firm tractions in Lisamed’s markets, a collaboration with InBiot from Spain (Award winning Smart Sensors for indoor air quality monitoring and improvement | inBiot) has levelled up our offerings and helping us create a path to being the most complete solution providers in this space. To add to the already glowing portfolio of products, Lisamed also associated with Temtop USA (Experts in Air Quality | Temtop). This addition of reliable, economical product range helps Lisamed cater to the commercial needs whether there is a need for portable or stationary product. The Dust and particulate monitoring range is especially catering to a large demand in India.
