Clarity's latest advancements include the Multi-Gas and Dust Modules, Automated QC, additional Add-On Services, and an enhanced OpenMap public data sharing platform. These innovations empower organizations to collect, analyze, and share reliable air quality data.

At Clarity, we’ve heard your feedback: organizations need an easy, impactful way to share real-time air quality data with communities and stakeholders. Whether it’s about protecting public health, raising awareness, or building trust, data-sharing should be simple and effective. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new and improved OpenMap, our revamped platform designed to turn your air pollution measurement data into actionable air quality awareness and insights — without the need for costly or complex third-party solutions.

Implementing wildfire prevention strategies at the individual and agency levels, establishing resilient air quality monitoring networks, and understanding how severely wildfire and poor air quality impact our national parks can help preserve them.

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.

TL;DR — Ports and logistics operations are major sources of harmful air pollution that affects air quality and climate health both locally and at the global scales — especially as maritime shipping becomes increasingly prominent globally. By implementing effective air quality monitoring and port emission reduction strategies, we can work to reduce these negative impacts and promote more environmentally friendly global supply chains.

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.

This legislation allocates approximately $2 million in funds through IRA 60105 (c) Grant Program specifically for the deployment, integration, and operation of air quality sensors in communities identified as low-income or disadvantaged, highlighting a commitment to environmental justice and the mitigation of pollution's unequal health impacts.

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.
