The passion and the expertise of ESI’s founders in environmental monitoring and pollution mitigation started years ago. It was triggered by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO)’s call to action on accurate pollution monitoring on Ontario highways. As a result, in 2017, a research collaboration project took place at Sheridan College sponsored by the MTO and led by Dr. Ali (ESI’s CEO). From testing our first prototype, we’ve made continuous and incremental improvements on various aspects of the hardware like form factor, stability and reliability. We started building capabilities on the software and data analytics aspects to lay the foundation for an end-to-end system. In the present day, we have developed an innovative, first in its class technology that can accurately measure pollution on the go and, by using Artificial Intelligence based algorithms, correct any variations due to changes in speed. We have complemented this technology with several data modelling and reporting tools to create a complete package that suits the needs of our customers. We are a proud, truly home-made Canadian company with diverse roots and on the journey towards making the world more sustainable.

We are aligned with UNSDG

In September 2015, 193 countries came together and agreed to take on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) – a framework of 17 goals aimed at reducing poverty, protecting our planet and ensuring prosperity for all. These goals call upon all of us to do our part to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges. ESI’s impetus -to contribute to innovation and infrastructure, help build sustainable cities and communities and be a leader in climate action- is aligned with the UNSDGs.

Sustainable Development Goals number 9, Innovation and Infrastructure, number 11, Sustainable Cities and Communites, and number 13, Climate Action

Alan Lynch

Sr. Scientist

“During remediation of a British Columbia village that was destroyed by wildfire in 2021, it was critical to determine emissions of contaminants to prevent worker exposure or impacts to off-site receptors. The ability to remotely monitor real time particulate matter concentrations enables management of site operations where standard monitoring identifies the ‘problem’ after it occurred. ESI’s technology enables real time observations and decisions to be made to protect workers and the environment before an impact occurs. ESI’s technology has wide-ranging applications to monitor and address hazardous emissions that impact the environment and human health.”
