Ultrafine particles, the invisible enemy of industrial air quality
The new generation of sensors that makes it possible to measure and control this pollutant with precision, reliability and in real time.
What you can’t see also matters. Controlling ultrafine particles (UFP) is today a competitive advantage—and tomorrow, a regulatory requirement. Kunak Technologies presents a pioneering solution for measuring these almost invisible pollutants that threaten both health and industrial performance. With its new precise, reliable, and accessible measurement technology, the company provides industries with a key tool to anticipate risks, optimize processes, and move toward safer, more sustainable operations.

A nanometric-scale threat
Ultrafine particles, with a diameter of less than 0.1 micrometers (100 nanometers), have a tiny and highly reactive structure. Their small size allows them to penetrate the body’s natural filters and reach sensitive organs such as the heart and brain. Various studies link them to inflammatory processes, oxidative stress, and neurological disorders, placing them among the most harmful airborne contaminants.
In industrial environments, these particles are not only an environmental challenge but also an occupational health and corporate credibility issue. Their control is no longer optional—it has become a technical, legal, and social obligation.

Industrial origin
Ultrafine particles are primarily generated in high-energy processes: high-temperature combustion, clinker kilns, foundries, diesel engines, and maritime propulsion systems.
Their extremely low mass allows them to remain suspended in the air for long periods, spreading throughout industrial facilities and even into nearby populated areas. This persistence makes UFPs a critical factor in industrial hygiene (EHS) and environmental performance management.

From laboratory precision to intelligent control
Traditionally, measuring ultrafine particles required large and costly reference instruments, such as Condensation Particle Counters (CPC) or Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers (SMPS). While precise, these tools were impractical for dynamic industrial environments.
Kunak’s new generation of sensors changes that paradigm. The system integrates:
* Advanced optical and laser technology, capable of detecting nanometric variations in real time.
* AI-assisted calibration algorithms that automatically adjust measurements, achieving results comparable to laboratory-grade instruments.
* A compact and modular design, easy to maintain and integrate into distributed monitoring networks.
This solution offers an unprecedented cost–performance ratio, democratizing ultrafine particle monitoring across industries.

A new standard in environmental monitoring
With UFPs now being incorporated into European regulations, industries adopting advanced monitoring technologies such as Kunak’s will be one step ahead. Continuous data enables the detection of emission sources, optimization of filtration systems, and reduction of pollutants before they become operational or regulatory issues.
The Kunak AIR ultrafine particle sensor sets a new benchmark for environmental monitoring—delivering certified precision, minimal maintenance, and scalable network capability. This makes measurement not just a compliance tool but a strategic advantage.
