Wildfire

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.

Research shows that wildfire smoke can travel thousands of miles and, in addition to its well-known detrimental impacts on human health in the short term, may also have cumulative effects. Consequently, it is essential to establish a real-time air quality monitoring network to understand pollution exposure during wildfire season.

Our recent webinar highlights the innovative work of our partners that has been used to establish high-resolution air quality monitoring networks and collect, communicate, and forecast air quality information during wildfire season.

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.

As climate change exacerbates wildfires, it is crucial to understand both the short- and long-term impacts wildfires have on human and environmental health.

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.

Low-cost sensors serve as a valuable tool during increasingly severe wildfire seasons to supply data and inform decision-making to protect public health.

Four individuals working to improve public and environmental health through air quality monitoring reflect on the catastrophic 2020 wildfire season in Clarity’s webinar.

This is the worse we’ve seen air pollution in the Bay Area in a while. As a team working on air pollution and air quality monitoring day in and day out, we wanted to give Bay Area residents an update on the air pollution carried over from the recent wildfires in California.
