Growing awareness of environmental monitoring and pollution control

In recent years, there has been a marked shift in public attitudes towards environmental protection and sustainability. More people today recognize the detrimental health impacts of air and water pollution caused by industrial emissions and hazardous waste. With the rise of social media and ease of information sharing online, any neglect towards environmental stewardship can quickly develop into a major reputational risk for companies and governments. As a result, environmental regulations have been strengthened around the world while stakeholders demand greater transparency into a company's pollution footprints and remedial actions.

Continuous and accurate monitoring of ambient air, water and soil quality has become absolutely necessary to comply with developing environmental norms. This has opened up new opportunities for electronic nose technology which allows low-cost, real-time pollution detection by mimicking mammalian olfaction. Industries engaged in chemical production, waste management, oil and gas exploration and large-scale farming can deploy fence-line monitoring systems equipped with electronic noses to screen surrounding areas for toxic gases or contaminants. Authorities too are looking at electronic nose networks for city-wide air quality measurement and source tracking of noxious industrial emissions.

The portability and low power requirements of electronic noses suit applications in remote or hard-to-access environments like deep sea pollution monitoring stations, plant stack emission check points and groundwater remediation sites. As public pressure on green credential and sustainability reporting of organizations intensifies, electronic noses enable demonstrable measures for environmental performance through continuous pollution surveillance data. This endows companies with an important competitive differentiator of strong environmental stewardship credentials while also ensuring regulatory compliance. Overall, the demand looks set to rise significantly as electronic noses emerge as a credible solution for transparent and scalable environmental monitoring missions.
