HBC Partners with AQMesh to Enhance Air Quality Monitoring in Kabul

In a move to better understand and address air pollution in the city, HBC has announced a new partnership with AQMesh, a leading provider of outdoor air quality monitoring systems. Through this collaboration, HBC has installed two advanced air quality monitoring pods that are now operational in Kabul’s PD 10 and PD 3 districts.

The AQMesh monitoring stations are tracking six key gases – nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) – as well as humidity and temperature levels. This comprehensive data will provide valuable insights into Kabul’s air pollution challenges and help guide future efforts to improve the environment.

“Air quality is a critical issue that impacts the health and wellbeing of Kabul’s residents,” said HBC spokesperson Ali Ahmad. “By partnering with AQMesh, we’re taking an important step towards better understanding the problem and developing effective solutions.”

AQMesh is a London-based company that specializes in cutting-edge outdoor air quality monitoring systems. Their advanced sensor technology and cloud-based data platform make it possible to gather highly accurate, real-time information on a range of air pollutants.

HBC plans to publish the air quality data collected through this partnership on its website, making the information publicly available to residents and policymakers. This will be an important step in raising awareness and catalyzing action to improve Kabul’s air quality.
