What pollutes Indian cities?
India faces voluminous air quality challenges. It alone accounts for six of the nine most polluted cities, with pollution sources including vehicular emissions, industrial discharges, construction dust, and crop residue burning. A recent report indicates that only 17 percent of the world’s cities meet air
Strengthening Pollution Boards power to protect environment
The Supreme Court confirms the authority of central and state pollution control boards to impose fixed compensatory damages on large establishments exceeding 20,000 sq meters under the provisions of the Water and Air Acts. The Court clarified that these powers
AmbiNode sensors and LeapSense software deliver faster ROI and greater comfort than traditional BMS solutions
The indoor climate and energy consumption of a building are deeply interlinked. In every environment, people notice when the air feels “off”- stuffy meeting rooms, uneven temperatures, or a constant hum from the HVAC system. Those minute annoyances add up.
Quiet Revolution in India’s Public Buildings
Across India, a silent transformation is underway in public buildings. From schools to transport hubs, smart technologies and sustainable retrofits are improving air quality, comfort, and energy efficiency, reshaping how millions experience everyday indoor environments.

The air we breathe goes digital
This article delves into the unique challenges India faces in managing air pollution and explores integrated technological, regulatory, and design-based responses that are shaping the future of air quality in the country. India stands at a critical juncture in its journey toward
Airborne pollutants
Airborne pollutants degrade indoor and outdoor air quality. Understanding the environmental factors at play is more important than ever. As global urbanisation and industrial activities intensify, harmful pollutants such as particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon
High pollution has been the norm in 2025
Emissions from forest fires include carbon monoxide, fine particulate matter in the form of PM2.5, and black carbon. When breathed in, these finer particles of pollution can enter the bloodstream and lead to respiratory conditions and even death. As air quality in
Smart IAQ devices power a new wave of air quality management
IAQ solutions are emerging with AI-powered technologies, which are enabling smart monitoring, predictive maintenance, and real-time pollutant detection. As indoor pollution rises, AI-integrated systems are improving efficiency and occupant health. These are driving adoption across residential, office, factory, and healthcare spaces with intelligent, data-driven air quality management. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) solutions have gained extensive
