Air Monitoring 39 9. Conclusions: CO2 may cause severe health injury if crosses


prescribed limits in atmosphere. Uranium Corporation of India Limited is a public sector unit, contributing towards neat and clean energy of nation in terms of nuclear fuel of country since more than 50 years. Experiments are being conducted for effective use of flue gases emitted from boiler house. It is possible for Tummalapalle Mill because carbonation of liquor is an important process of unit. Tests are still under progress for effect of carbonated liquor in operations. These modifications are small step towards neat & clean energy of Nation by UCIL under DAE.


ACKNOWLEDGMENT: We thank the management of Uranium Corporation of India Limited, Tummalapale Project. We also thank Shri C.K.Asnani, (C&MD), Shri S.R.Pranesh, D(T) & Dr. A.K.Sarangi,

Air quality services support trial interventions to aid the move to electric vehicles in India


EarthSense have announced details of its latest air quality project, Innovation for Clean Air (IfCA), supporting India’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs).


Using MappAir® technology, EarthSense is building a detailed model of air pollution for Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, India.

The model will identify the change in ambient air quality for the first 12 months of the two-year project to enable stakeholders to assess several pollution-lowering initiatives to integrate EVs into public transport services.


Contracted by the Satellite Applications Catapult, EarthSense will also deploy its mobile Zephyr® air quality sensors into new electric buses. These Zephyr® sensors will provide continuous measurements and collate air quality data in real-time around the city.


Commenting on the project, Head of Modelling at EarthSense, Dr. Antoine Jeanjean said: “By incorporating the latest satellite, weather, traffic and reference data, as well as integrating our Zephyr® data, we are able to build a highly detailed real-time model of air pollution – the first step in understanding Bengaluru’s air quality. We can then use the MappAir® model to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions over time.”


Managing Director at EarthSense, Thomas Hall, commented: “India is home to over one billion people and is one of the world’s most polluted countries. We are taking a holistic approach, using our sensor technology paired with our modelling expertise, to help transform public transport and reduce air pollution in India.”


The IfCA project partners includes a network of catapults in the UK including the Satellite Applications Catapult, Energy Systems and Connected Places Catapults as well as several local partners and stakeholders in India including Enzen, Government of Karnataka and Lithium Cabs.


Commenting on the partnership, Head of Health and Wellbeing at the Satellite Applications Catapult, John Vesey said: “This project is looking to create partnerships and opportunities to collaborate between Indian and UK organisations. As a spin out from one of our Regional Centres of Excellence it is great to be partnering with EarthSense and utilising their expertise in embedding satellite data to tackle the societal challenge of air quality faced by Indian and UK cities alike.”

email: For More Info, email: email:


Casella has won Occupational Health and Safety’s 2019 ‘New Product of the Year Award’ for its VAPex Personal Low Flow Sampling Pump. Casella’s VAPex Personal Low Flow Sampling Pump was selected as the best new product in the Industrial Hygiene: Air Sampling category by a panel of three highly qualified judges.


Tim Turney, Global Marketing Manager at Casella, said “We’re thrilled that the VAPex has been recognised among this year’s best products by a publication as well regarded as Occupational Health & Safety. We’re proud that the user-focused features of the VAPex have put it ahead of other air samplers. It follows in the footsteps of our other award-winning products, enabling our continued growth in the air sampling market.”


The 11th edition of the annual awards program was highly competitive, as Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) editor Sydny Shepard, explains: “OH&S’ ‘New Product of the Year Award’ saw an outstanding number of entries for 2019, proving that industry manufacturers are dedicated to producing products that not only optimise worker safety, but are comfortable, practical and convenient. Entries this year received top remarks from the judges, who complimented efforts to bring more innovative products to the industry.”
