Wildfire Smoke & Air Quality Monitoring
Build a wildfire smoke monitoring system that protects public health during smoke events. With Aethair PRO, agencies, municipalities, and emergency responders gain continuous, real-time wildfire smoke monitoring and air quality data across every deployed location, covering particulates (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). A distributed sensor network reports to a single live map in Environet, so teams can see how wildfire smoke concentrations change across the region and which communities are most exposed in real time. Add a wind sensor through Thiamis to bring live wind data alongside smoke readings for a fuller picture of how the event is evolving. AI-driven analysis provides early wildfire smoke warnings and exposure insights to guide emergency response, while real-time alerts highlight smoke hazards, visibility impacts, and health risks. Aethair wildfire smoke monitoring data can also be used to evaluate how buildings, HVAC systems, and filtration strategies perform against outdoor smoke, ensuring safer indoor environments when wildfire smoke is at its worst.
Wildfires release harmful pollutants that create serious health, safety, and environmental challenges. Aethair's wildfire smoke monitoring system delivers continuous wildfire air quality monitoring and environmental monitoring to:
- Detect Smoke Hazards: Measure PM concentrations to track fire intensity and spread.
- Track Smoke Across a Region: Deploy networked sensors to see how PM concentrations rise and fall at each location as smoke moves through the area.
- Assess Visibility: Monitor particle levels that reduce visibility and threaten safety.
- Protect Public Health: Identify high-risk pollution events affecting the public.
- Support Emergency Response: Deliver early warnings and data to guide responders.
- Building Performance: Evaluate HVAC & filtration effectiveness against outdoor smoke.
Noesis takes the work out of reporting. Generate customizable reports in seconds for perimeter, indoor, and cabin air quality monitoring. Automatically highlight trends, pinpoint exceedances, and surface insights without sifting through raw data. The result is clear, actionable documentation that saves time, reduces risk, and improves decision-making.

With Noesis, wildfire air quality data becomes a tool for proactive protection. Analyze live or historical data, generate custom reports, or review any report created in Environet. With just a few clicks or a simple question, responders and agencies can monitor community exposure, identify exceedances, and support compliance and emergency decisions. Noesis reduces manual workload, saving time and helping protect public health & safety during wildfire events.
Airborne Wildfire Hazards
Wildfires release a mix of harmful pollutants that threaten both outdoor and indoor environments.
- PM1 (Ultrafine Particles): Microscopic particles that reach the bloodstream, linked to cardiovascular and neurological effects.
- PM2.5 (Fine Particles): Smoke particles that penetrate deep into the lungs, causing irritation and long-term health risks.
- PM10 (Coarse Particles): Larger dust and ash particles that irritate the upper airways and reduce visibility.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO): Produced by incomplete combustion, leading to headaches, dizziness, and impaired cognition.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Compounds released in smoke that contribute to toxic exposure and long-term health risks.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): A byproduct of combustion, indicating fire intensity and contributing to greenhouse gas buildup.
