Results have been announced for the international air quality measurement performance testing project “2023 AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge”.

Congratulations, the results have been announced.!!🥳🎉🎊 International Air Quality Monitor Performance Testing Project “2023 AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge”

date 23 November 2023 ago Air Parif (Airparif) Air quality monitoring agency from France and Airlab (AIRLAB) Affiliated laboratory Organized an eventClosing of the international air quality measurement efficiency testing project. “2023 AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge” Along with announcing the results of the project decision. onAlliance Française Bangkok which was broadcast live from the event to the headquarters of Airparif on Paris with the honor of Mr. Colbert–gold Point Beuf (Jean-Claude Poimboeuf) French Ambassador to Thailand Mr. Chatchat Sittipan Governor of Bangkok and Mr. Philip General (Philippe Quénel) chairman Airparif Traveling to open the event

project “AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge” Held annually by year 2566 this Held for the first time 4 This time it was part of the celebration of the French Year of Innovation activities.–Thai 2023 The project is being carried out in both France and Thailand. This is the first time such a project has been implemented simultaneously in two countries.

Testing and performance evaluation of air quality monitors participating in the project were conducted both inside and outside the building. In France, it was carried out in Tourcoing. (Tourcoing) northern france and laboratory space of Airparif in paris In Thailand, it was carried out on the rooftop of the Alliance Française Bangkok office building. There is a manufacturer of air quality measurement devices. 33 company from 13 country Including Thailand Send all air quality measuring devices 59 machine Join the project

Test results shows that Participating air quality monitors have different air quality measurement reliability depending on the manufacturer. Pollutant type and usage patterns Overall The air quality monitors participating in the project can effectively measure dust particles in the air in environments with high pollution and large dust particles. They can work efficiently in Bangkok. more than in France Due to the environmental conditions in Bangkok There is a higher concentration of particulate matter than in France. Most air quality monitors provide low reliability in detecting gaseous pollutants. such as Ozone gas and nitrogen dioxide gas Some have provided the first accurate results for measuring ozone gas and soot. (Black carbon) in the outside air However, An air quality detector used to measure gaseous pollutants. Poor efficiency in adapting to climate change between France and Thailand The measurement accuracy decreases when changing test locations from one location to another. This is because algorithms that improve measurement accuracy struggle to cope with changes in temperature and humidity. Affects the working efficiency of the machine.

For this project It has been decided to award awards to manufacturers of air quality measurement devices that have the highest performance in various fields. Any other by prize Special Jury Prize given to ACOEM C-12 Carbon Sensor from France In the sectionAir quality measuring device from Thailand receive 3 reward namely

– reward Outdoor Air type Awareness (Test results in Thailand) given to AirGradient Outdoor

– reward Most accurate multi-pollutant sensor type Indoor under €500 (Test results in France) and prizes Best accuracy type PM2.5 – Indoor under €500 (Test results in France) given to AirGradient ONE

All judgment results are as follows.

• reward Special Jury Prize given to ACOEM C-12 Carbon Sensor from France

However, Information about the performance tests of all award-winning air quality monitors is published on the website. AIRLAB In English and French Through an interactive platform So that users can study and choose to use an air quality measurement device according to their needs.

Project origin “AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge”

Because each year there is more development in air quality measurement technology. Air Parif (Airparif) An independent agency accredited by the French government to monitor air quality in Paris and surrounding cities. So we joined forces with Air Lab. (AIRLAB) Affiliated innovation laboratories Organize international projects “AIRLAB Microsensors Challenge” Since the year 2561 To conduct tests and evaluate the performance of air quality monitors from around the world. There is a committee consisting of experts from different countries. Any other Participate in a rigorous and independent evaluation of the machine’s performance under real-world operating conditions.
