The Port of Tarragona, an important center of industrial and chemical activities, was facing difficulties in monitoring and reducing emissions that could affect the nearby urban environment. Although VOC campaigns are conducted periodically and the existing network records pollutants and environmental parameters, the need for higher spatial and temporal resolution arose to better understand the dispersion of port emissions and their potential effects on adjacent communities.

The Port of Tarragona incorporated Bettair ‘ s advanced air quality sensors into its dnota-managed monitoring network. Bettair nodes were strategically placed between the port and the city to provide real-time, high-resolution data on key pollutants, such as PM₁₀, PM₂․₅, VOCs, SO₂ and H₂S. The Bettair Cloud platform enriched the system with visual Wind Rose and Pollution Rose functions to identify pollution patterns and sources, improving control and compliance with CO₂ reduction targets and urban environmental management.

The incorporation of Bettair nodes, together with the advanced functionalities of Bettair Cloud, has transformed air quality monitoring in the Port of Tarragona. Thanks to real-time data, authorities can better assess potential impacts on the city and respond quickly to environmental emergencies. This development promotes a more sustainable and responsible port.

The system identifies pollution patterns and specific sources, facilitating informed decisions. Accurate data strengthens the sustainability strategy, supporting compliance with environmental commitments and improving air quality for residents. It is a significant step toward healthier and more effective urban management.

Stakeholders now have real-time information to mitigate risks, optimize operational responses and promote public health initiatives. The innovation demonstrates how Bettair’s technology supports the port’s commitment to sustainable operations and the protection of the urban environment, ensuring a cleaner and safer future for all.
