For optimal management of environmental and safety risks

Indoor noise management is essential for safety and comfort. It’s not just about measuring sound levels but also accurately identifying the sources and nature of the noise to tailor remediation strategies.

Ellona’s POD2 devices play a key role in acoustic monitoring and indoor safety, whether in offices, hospitals, factories, schools, or commercial spaces.

• Continuous measurement of sound levels to ensure a compliant environment
• Identification of noise sources (machines, voices, barking, alarms, ventilation…)
• Detailed analysis of the nature of the noises (impulsive, resonant, mechanical…)
• Detection of critical noises (gunfire, security alarms, glass breakage, technical incidents…)
• Targeted remediation to secure infrastructure and protect people

With EllonaSoft, data is centralized, analyzed, and utilized in real-time, enabling fast and efficient decision-making in the event of an incident.

Ellona’s POD2 enables real-time indoor measurement of fine particles (PM1, PM2.5, PM10, and down to PM0.3) using optical sensors. These sensors detect and count particles by measuring light scattering, providing precise air quality monitoring. In addition to measuring particle concentration, the POD2 leverages artificial intelligence algorithms to identify their nature and source, helping to better understand pollution origins and optimize remediation actions. Data is centralized and analyzed via EllonaSoft, ensuring optimized health risk management and real-time monitoring to protect occupants’ safety.

The POD2 specifically monitors fine particle levels in line with WHO recommendations:

• PM2.5: ≤ 5 µg/m³ (annual average exposure)
• PM10: ≤ 15 µg/m³ (annual average exposure)
• PM1: Few official guidelines, but high concentrations can be concerning.

This capability of measurement, analysis, and identification enhances the understanding of indoor pollution challenges and enables the effective adaptation of air quality improvement strategies.

Ellona’s POD2 ensures the safety of people and infrastructure by monitoring indoor air quality through real-time multivariate analysis. It measures up to 5 gases simultaneously (4 electrochemical sensors + 1 optical sensor) from a list of 21 possible gases (NO₂, SO₂, CO, O₃, NH₃, etc.). Its artificial intelligence algorithms accurately identify gas types, detect their interactions, and locate their sources. Through the EllonaSoft platform, smart alerts and automated corrective actions (ventilation, air purification) are implemented, ensuring a healthier environment, optimal occupant protection, and infrastructure preservation.

Outdoor noise management relies on two key aspects: measuring sound levels to ensure compliance with regulations, and accurately identifying noise sources for targeted nuisance management. Ellona‘s WT1 Lite and WT1 Pro devices address these needs. These devices precisely monitor outdoor sound levels to ensure compliance with authorized thresholds, whether in urban or industrial environments. They provide continuous monitoring of sound intensities and allow for adjustments in control strategies based on changes in noise levels. The WT1 Pro goes further by offering a detailed analysis of sound signatures through artificial intelligence algorithms and databases. Additionally, with the EllonaSoft platform,the collected data is centralized, analyzed, and used to optimize noise nuisance management, helping to secure people, infrastructure, and the environment.

To identify and measure fine particles (including PM1, PM2.5, PM10) on industrial or construction sites, Ellona offers tailored solutions such as Dustkair, a portable device designed to be worn close to the respiratory pathways. It allows real-time measurement of inhaled particles, including crystalline silica, a highly carcinogenic element. Ellona also offers fixed systems like the WT1 Lite and WT1 Pro, which provide continuous monitoring of particles outdoors. These devices not only identify sources of particulate pollution and track concentration changes over time but also centralize data through the EllonaSoft platform. This platform facilitates optimal health risk management by enabling precise tracking and rapid response to any concentration threshold exceedances.

Thanks to real-time multivariate analysis, Ellona provides ultra-precise identification of the nature and sources of gas emissions. The WT1 Pro device integrates up to 6 electrochemical sensors and 2 optical sensors (or 1 optical and 1 PID), while the WT1 Lite can contain up to 4 electrochemical sensors and 1 optical sensor, with the option to choose from a list of 25 different gases.

The EllonaSoft platform processes this data every 10 seconds to identify, locate, and dynamically model emissions, integrating meteorological data and AI algorithms.

The result? Precise detection, intelligent alerts, and automated corrective actions—ideal for industrial sites, smart cities, ports, and airports.

No, the analysis of H₂S (hydrogen sulfide) and NH₃ (ammonia) molecules is not sufficient to assess all odors (odours) present in an environment. Although these molecules are commonly analyzed using electrochemical sensors, they only represent a fraction of the odor (odour) compounds. Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia are indeed important components of certain odor (odour) nuisances, but many other chemical compounds are responsible for varied and complex odors, such as aldehydes, volatile fatty acids, and mercaptans, which are not detected by these traditional technologies. This is precisely what the MOX (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensors used in Ellona devices, such as the WT1 Lite, the WT1 Pro (specifically designed for outdoor use), and the POD2 (adapted for indoor environments), are capable of detecting.
