The impact of economic growth, rapid industrialization, and urbanization is directly related to the rise in emissions of toxic and harmful pollutants, often related to human activity. Air pollution can affect both human and environmental health, causing diseases and atmospheric phenomena such as smog and acid rain. Pollutants (solid particles, liquid aerosols, or gases) can be visible, including particulate matter, smoke, and fume, but others are released into the atmosphere inadvertently, bringing attention to the issue of accurate emissions tracking and reduction. Rising emission levels of hazardous pollutants are met with increasing worry, driving public awareness and new market demands that push for sustainable manufacturing.

The development of new hardware and software technologies has proved crucial for the widespread adoption of smart air pollution control systems. These can support maintenance, monitoring, and management and help achieve pollution reduction targets. Most of these technologies have a high associated CAPEX, which explains the emergence of alternative business models that reduce costs and risks for the client.
