Calibration & QA/QC

As part of our ongoing commitment to the quality of the data provided by our air quality measurement equipment, we are thrilled to announce the release of automated quality control (QC) features on the Clarity Dashboard. This enhancement marks a significant milestone in our ability to provide cost-effective, accurate, and trustworthy air quality data to our customers globally.

This blog provides a recap of our recent webinar on the RAC Air Health Monitor, Australia's largest and most advanced air sensor network. Hosted by David Lu, co-founder and CEO of Clarity, the session featured key insights from Julian and David from the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) of Western Australia, and Martin from Ramboll.

We are thrilled to announce that starting April 2024, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) is now integrating data from Clarity’s Node-S air quality sensors into their cutting-edge, real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) model. This model operates across a detailed grid of 1,218 cells, each 5 kilometers square, providing localized air quality updates to the residents of the South Coast AQMD region.

We asked Drew Hill, Data Science & Applied Research Lead at Aethlabs to help us take a deep dive into black carbon air pollution, exploring the science behind this air pollutant, its origins, its impacts, and the urgency & importance of accurate black carbon measurement.

This certification marks a significant milestone, ensuring that Clarity's monitors meet the highest data quality standards and can be relied upon for indicative ambient air quality measurements. The MCERTS certification comes as no surprise given Clarity’s impressive collocation results around the world, but this independent qualitative and quantitative verification for our air quality measurements reinforces Clarity's commitment to providing the most accurate and reliable air quality monitoring solutions on the market.

Recently, the Greater London Authority and Imperial College London released the 2021–2022 Breathe London Network Air Quality Monitoring Report, highlighting key statistics on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and showcasing the impressive performance of these air quality sensors in comparison to reference monitors.

As we continue to break down the US EPA's Enhanced Air Sensor Guidebook, we discuss the importance of collocation to ensure effective, accurate air quality measurement with low-cost sensors.

Clarity & Sonoma Technology announce that they have signed a MOU to work together to provide comprehensive air quality monitoring solutions for government agencies, communities, and businesses seeking integrated air quality management services.

Jack Kodros, Clarity's Air Quality Data Scientist, joins us in conversation regarding his research-oriented process to evaluate and improve low-cost sensor performance.

Low-cost sensors can be used in a wide range of different air quality monitoring projects, either alone or in conjunction with reference-grade air quality monitors.
