Gresspollen – hvordan var sesongen i år?
Ta en titt på vår video som viser nivåene av gresspollen i Norge fra mai til september 2022.
Topp 10 smartby-trender
Grønn byplanlegging for bærekraftige byer “For pollen forecasts, the startup processes the data from the satellite images using machine learning algorithms to display maps with trees and grass that cause allergies. Smart cities utilize Airmine’s solution to efficiently analyze local air pollution and pollen data to make suitable decisions in urban planning.”
Et kinderegg, sier LHL

Pollenvarsel akkurat der du bor
“Tjenesten vår bruker satellittdata fra Sentinel-2 sammen med prøver tatt på bakken til å kartlegge hvor ulike typer vegetasjon som kan gi allergi befinner seg i Norge, sier Tangen.” Fra omtale hos Norsk Romsenter, 8. juni 2022.

Airmine søker pilotkunder til vår nye pollenmåler
Endelig! Etter at korona skapte masse trøbbel for oss, kan Airmine snart begynne å sende ut pollenmålere til pilotkunder. Airmine har de tre siste årene brukt masse krefter på å lage en pollenmåler for Hvermansen. Omsider er den her, og i februar begynner vi å sende ut den første batchen med målere til pilotkunder. Vi …

How to spot a birch tree from space
To improve our pollen forecasts, we are using satellite data and machine learning to classify plant types.
WHO tightens air quality guidelines
WHO releases stricter air quality guidelines to protect human health. The new standard for fine particles (PM2.5) is halved, stressing that exposure to PM2.5 is a major health risk.
The accidental badger detector
PM2.5 levels peaked late at night and early mornings at our sensor test site and we struggled to find out why. Turns out the answer had fur and four legs.
We’re measuring pollen!
We are running our airminer 2.0 sensors to calculate local pollen levels. As expected, pollen levels vary with temperature and precipitation, but we also see significant variations through the day.
When to expect birch pollen in Norway?
Hazel and alder is flowering in Southern Norway, but the key allergen to many of us is birch. When can we expect the birch pollen season to start?
Spring in Europe – alder, hazel and birch pollen
We are heading into warmer and lighter days in Europe, lockdowns or not. And no surprise, the pollen is faithfully here.
Green in India means red in Norway
We’ve attempted to compare the different PM2.5 breakpoints in selected air quality indices. It turns out a green level does not mean the same around the world.
EU’s clean air outlook – saving lives and reducing costs
EU has launched its Second Clean Air Outlook report. There are both premature deaths and money to be saved by improving the air quality.
Pilot testing our air quality monitor – where is the pollution coming from?
We are pilot testing our air quality monitors and have started to dig into the first results. We had expected local variations in PM-levels, but it turns out the source is probably found far away from the neighbour’s wood burning stove.
Air quality in Europe – it’s going the right way
EEA’s recent report gives hope for the air quality in Europe. Most pollutants have been reduced the last decade, but Eastern Europe is still heavily affected.
Winter is coming – with polluted air
As we enter the colder months on the northern hemisphere, air pollution levels rise. Much of Europe is affected, but can hardly match the soaring levels in Northern India.
Smoke from west? No, dust from east
Did the huge forest fires on the US West Coast in September impact air quality in Europe? Not really, the measurements show. What did have an impact, was dust transported by winds from south east.
Better air in Beijing than San Francisco
Last week, you’d rather breathe Delhi air than take a stroll in San Francisco. Smoke and ashes from the huge forest make air quality on the US West Coast the worst in the world.
Air pollution shortens more lives than smoking, drugs and malaria
Although we are in the midst of a global pandemic, air pollution remains the single major contributor to loss in life expectancy across the globe.
