Air pollution remains one of the world's biggest environmental challenges. Despite progress with the introduction of ambient air quality standards in countries around the world, many regions and communities still struggle with dangerous levels of pollution.
We believe it's time for Air Quality Management 2.0 — a new model focused on achieving measurable improvements in public health and air quality through high-resolution air pollution measurement and cross-sectoral collaboration.
Our air quality monitoring technology can play a key role in Air Quality Management 2.0 — providing air quality data that serves as the foundation for coordinating four key stakeholder groups critical to successful air quality management: Communities, Regulators, Technologies and Analysts.
Together, these components form a closed-loop cycle where air quality monitoring provides a foundation of evidence to guide policy and instigate action from regulators while providing more transparency and localized benefits to our communities. The resulting emission reductions and health benefits feedback to justify sustained monitoring and analysis.
It’s essential that community voices are part of the conversation when it comes to air quality improvement initiatives and policy change, as they often bear the brunt of air pollution’s negative impacts on public health.
Regulators play an essential role in transforming the insights from air quality monitoring data into policy initiatives that make an impact on air pollution reductions and public health outcomes.
Play a pivotal role in spotting trends, modeling pollution, and guiding interventions for improved air quality and public well-being through data-driven insights.
Air quality data is the foundation on which cross-sectoral partnerships are built. Technology like low-cost air quality sensors can help bridge the gap that exists in data collected by often sparse regulatory-grade monitors.
Our Sensing-as-a-Service℠ air quality monitoring solution is built to power Air Quality Management 2.0. By deploying low-cost air quality sensor networks, we provide cities with the comprehensive air quality data they need to gain actionable insights and make informed decisions.
Clarity partners with a wide variety of organizations worldwide to implement data-driven clean air programs, working with communities, regulators, businesses, and other stakeholders to reduce emissions, increase localized air pollution monitoring, and promote transparency and equity.
