English translation: environmental monitoring station

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:caseta de monitoreo ambiental
English translation:environmental monitoring station

Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / Informe mensual de explot
Spanish term or phrase: caseta de monitoreo ambiental
Contexto:

Bajo la sección de "calidad el aire", aparece: "Las casetas se encuentran funcionando de manera normal".

Le pedí al cliente que me aclarara a qué se referían con "casetas" y esto es lo que contestó:

"Se refiere a las casetas de monitoreo ambiental. Son pequeños contenedores donde están los equipos que miden la calidad del aire y que están instalados en diferentes lugares".

Mi pregunta es: ¿Podrían ser "environmental monitoring booths"? No encuentro muchos hits en google para este término, entonces estoy pensando que tal vez se les diga de otra manera.

¡Gracias de antemano por su ayuda!

'box' or 'device'


Explanation:
I strongly doubt the correct word would be 'booth'. I can imagine the 'contenedor' is quite small so you could perhaps use 'box' or even 'device'

Asker: 3k hits for "box" vs. 9 for "booth"... that's more like it! Thank you so much!
