SLB analysis

What SLB analysis does

SLB-analys (legal entity: SLB-analys, Miljöförvaltningen i Stockholm) is the expert unit for air quality monitoring and analysis within Stockholm City's Environmental Administration, operationally responsible for running and reporting the air quality measurement network on behalf of Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund — a membership association of 69–71 municipalities, regions, and companies spanning six counties in southeastern Sweden (Stockholm, Södermanland, Uppsala, Gävleborg, Östergötland, and Gotland). Its core services cover reference-grade outdoor air quality measurements (NOx, NO2, PM10, PM2.5, CO, SO2, ozone, particle count, hydrocarbons), air quality investigations using a tiered modeling stack (Airviro Gauss for regional dispersion, OSPM for street canyons, and CFD via MISKAM and OpenFOAM for complex urban geometries, bridges, and tunnel entrances), CFD-based wind comfort analyses, odor dispersion calculations, ANPR traffic composition analysis, and continuous noise monitoring at selected sites. SLB-analys also publishes the Luftföroreningskartor interactive air pollution map, the Mätdata real-time and historical measurement data portal (downloadable as Excel), and the Rapportarkiv research and reporting archive, and has developed proprietary methodologies such as a PM10 correction formula for Gotland optical instrument data validated jointly with Sweden's Reference Laboratory for Air Quality.

The business model is that of a municipal public service unit: SLB-analys is wholly owned by Stockholm City, with no external shareholders, no funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue or budget figures. Operating funds flow from Stockholm City's municipal budget and from member fees paid by Luftvårdsförbund participants, who receive services at a discounted rate as a membership benefit; supplementary income comes from direct contracts with government agencies and private companies for environmental assessments, planning applications, and permit work, with no public pricing disclosed. Customer segments are therefore predominantly vertical — municipalities and government as primary, with private companies and the member association as secondary — and channels are direct enterprise sales plus the membership reseller structure of Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund.

Core offering

SLB-analys provides air quality measurements using reference or equivalent methods covering nitrogen oxides, PM10/PM2.5, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons. The unit also conducts air quality investigations using various calculation models (Airviro Gauss, OSPM, CFD), wind comfort analyses via CFD, and odor dispersion calculations. Supporting digital offerings include the Luftföroreningskartor air pollution map application and the Mätdata measurement data portal with real-time and historical data.

Product overview

SLB-analys is a specialized unit within Stockholm's Miljöförvaltningen (Environmental Administration) offering a portfolio of air quality monitoring and analysis services. The core offering consists of air quality measurements using reference instruments and passive samplers, air quality investigations using computational dispersion models (Airviro Gauss model, OSPM street canyon model, CFD models including MISKAM and OpenFOAM), wind analysis using CFD, and odor dispersion investigations. Supporting digital products include the Luftföroreningskartor (air pollution map application), Mätdata (measurement data portal with real-time and historical data), Rapportarkiv (report archive), and Luft och hälsa (air and health information resource). The organization operates monitoring stations across six counties on behalf of Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund, providing municipalities, government agencies, and private companies with compliance-verified air quality data and research-grade analysis.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Air Quality Measurements (Luftkvalitetsmätningar) Outdoor air pollutant measurements using reference methods or equivalent methods for compliance with statutory environmental quality standards, plus simpler measurement methods for broader knowledge purposes. For municipalities, government agencies, and private companies.
• Air Quality Investigations (Luftkvalitetsutredningar) Calculation-based air quality investigations using various dispersion models depending on project complexity. Demonstrates how densification of developments according to detailed plans affects air quality and evaluates effects of alternative designs on pollutant concentrations. For municipalities, government agencies, and private developers.
• Wind Analysis / Wind Comfort (Vindanalyser) CFD-based wind comfort analysis investigating how new or altered buildings strengthen or weaken wind within an area, to create a good wind climate in areas where people are expected to spend extended periods. For urban planners, developers, and municipalities.
• Odor Investigations (Luktutredningar) Dispersion calculations for odor, investigating how chemical compounds that generate odor spread geographically and dilute in the surroundings. Addresses both odor source identification and mitigation. For municipalities, industrial operators, and property developers.
• Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund Air Quality Association Operations Operation and monitoring of air quality measuring stations in six counties on behalf of Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund, providing member municipality air quality monitoring and compliance reporting. Serves 69-71 member organizations across the region.

Broad incumbents

• Ramboll: International environmental and engineering consultancy with established Nordic air-quality and environmental assessment practices. Comparable on the planning/EIA and dispersion-modeling service lines that municipalities and private developers purchase.
• Sweco: Largest Nordic engineering and environmental consultancy. Competes for municipal air-quality assessment and environmental impact assessment work with a much broader portfolio; relevant because it captures private-company and planning-stage projects SLB-analys also serves.
• SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute): Sweden's national meteorological and hydrological authority that SLB-analys reports measurement data to annually. Operates adjacent air-quality and atmospheric modeling capabilities at national scale and serves as both a partner and a broader public-sector incumbent in the same domain.
• Vaisala: Finnish environmental and industrial measurement company with a substantial air-quality product line (AQT series sensors, weather stations). Comparable on the reference-grade monitoring technology side and increasingly on smart-city air-quality deployments that may compete for municipal budgets.

Direct peers

• ENVEA (formerly Environnement S.A.): Global manufacturer and integrator of air-quality and emissions monitoring stations (reference-grade analyzers, dust, CEMS). Comparable as an end-to-end measurement hardware + service provider serving regulatory monitoring customers similar to Östra Sveriges Luftvårdsförbund members.
• Opsis: Swedish-based provider of DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) air-quality monitoring systems and software. Directly comparable as a specialist air-quality measurement technology and service provider operating in the Nordic market alongside SLB-analys.
• IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute: Sweden's leading applied environmental research institute, conducting air-quality measurements, dispersion modeling, and policy research. Closely mirrors SLB-analys' measurement + modeling + policy advisory stack, serving overlapping municipal and governmental clients.

Emerging players

• Aeroqual: New Zealand-headquartered manufacturer of compact air-quality sensor monitors used for both regulatory indication and community-scale hyperlocal monitoring. Represents the emerging low-cost sensor-network alternative that could partially substitute for reference-grade municipal networks over time.
• Aclima: US-based air-quality sensing and analytics company operating mobile and block-level pollution-mapping platforms. Comparable on the dispersion/mapping analytics layer and represents the emerging private-sector model that competes for the same municipal decision-maker attention.

Regional players

• NILU (Norwegian Institute for Air Research): Norway's primary air-quality research institute operating measurement networks and atmospheric modeling across Norway. Highly comparable mandate, service mix, and public-sector ownership structure; geographically adjacent rather than overlapping with SLB-analys' Swedish footprint.
