The Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) in Saudi Arabia has established nine stations to monitor air quality in Jubail's Industrial City. The stations will also be used for meteorological purposes.

 

These stations will measure elements in the air, such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide.

 

The nine stations were distributed equally in order to cover Jubail Industrial City and other industrial areas.

 

This initiative comes as part of the commission's continuous efforts for environmental preservation, which has earned it several awards.

 

Data on air quality is collected from these nine stations every five minutes and sent directly to a central computer using advanced wireless devices, which is reviewed and analyzed by a crew of specialists in order to ascertain air quality and meteorology at any given time.

 

The Royal Commission's Environmental Safety and Control Department manages many environmental programs to ensure environmental safety in the city.

 

The commission has developed refined environmental regulations, which include rigid industrial-related local and international standards.

 

It takes into account local and global environmental changes and state-of-the-art technologies by updating such regulations every five years.
