Providing policy-makers with pollution and noise level information is set to become easier and cheaper with the launch of Park & Breathe, according to its manufacturer Flowbird – the company formed by the merger of Parkeon and Cale.

Park & Breathe is an environmental monitoring device designed to fit on top of the company’s Strada parking meters and measures noise, N02, ozone photochemical pollution, particulates (PM10), CO2, temperature and hygrometry. The unit is powered from the existing terminal’s 12V battery and sends data to the servers via the modem fitted in each parking terminal.

Park & Breathe can a create network to study noise and pollution in real time via the monitoring server web portal. This can also be used to display monitored data from outdoor environment on a daily, monthly and yearly basis.
