<\/p>\nCruise ships produce large quantities of air pollutants. But how great is the danger for people who live or work near harbors and ports? To answer this question, the city of Stockholm relies on a tried-tested method: measuring devices from Palas\u00ae. Because with precise measurement data, invisible threats in the air can be made visible. The first Fidas\u00ae Smart 100 has been installed at the port of Stockholm, more to follow. And also they can be used to make reliable statements about the air quality on site and\u00a0 if necessary to take appropriate countermeasures.<\/p>\n

Challenges and solutions for the City of Stockholm<\/strong><\/p>\n Stockholm is the capital and largest city of Sweden, as well as the location of Sweden’s political, economic, cultural, transportation center and major port. Every year there are approximately 300 ships arrivals in Stockholm with more than 500,000 passengers. There are a total of four cruise port terminals in Stockholm. Among them, the Stadsg\u00e5rden berth is the main berth of large cruise ships. At the beginning of 2022, the Stockholm port authority decided to investigate the emissions from cruise ships at Stadsg\u00e5rden. The ships are not connected to the power grid during their stay of at least 24 hours and have to generate their own electricity via the diesel generators on board. The city of Stockholm was therefore asked to carry out measurements during the period from mid May to at least the end of September, with the possibility of an extension.<\/p>\n The City of Stockholm already has seven Fidas\u00ae 200 in use, an EN 16450-certified fine dust monitor for simultaneous measurement of PM2.5 and PM10. So it was obvious, that they would again rely on the equipment and technology from Palas\u00ae in this case. However, installation on a building roof was difficult, so in addition to precise measurement equipment, small dimensions and low weight were important factors in choosing the device.<\/p>\n A perfect match for the Fidas\u00ae Smart 100<\/strong><\/p>\n Fidas\u00ae Smart 100 the currently most advanced compact measuring device for the determination of ambient air quality. It analyzes airborne fine dust particles in the size range 0.175 – 20 \u00b5m and is released and approved by T\u00dcV for PM2.5 for official measurements. Fidas\u00aeSmart 100 thus provides comprehensive and accurate information on fine dust particles, which is only possible with a counting single particle measurement method. The challenge now is to accurately record the tracks of the cruise ships, because factors such as the weather and wind direction and<\/p>\n the quantity or location of the ships naturally also play an important role here. The City of Stockholm has detailed schedules for all ships coming in and can accurately monitor and analyze the pollution in the air with the measurement data provided by the Fidas\u00ae Smart100.<\/p>\n Fidas\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Smart 100 features fast data interfaces and allows real time access over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular network. Since all results are calculated and recorded within the analyzer it requires no external data processing by, e.g., cloud computing. Users retain full control over their data and decide over information access. Fidas\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Smart 100 can provide numerical data, using various communication protocols, as well as visualize information on any type of device using a modern web interface. Its compact design simplifies installation and integration in an existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n AQ Guard Smart Aerosol Spectrometer<\/strong><\/p>\n Optional data cloud platform, plug and play, real-time viewing of hotspot data:<\/p>\n Advantages Applications![\"\"](\"https:\/\/palas.com.cn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/2-1.jpg\")
