Addressing urban air quality challenges with our Sensing-as-a-Service solutions
Get in touch with an air quality expert
Cities globally grapple with unparalleled challenges concerning air quality and climate change. As part of the C40 Clean Air Cities Declaration, mayors have dedicated themselves to delivering clean air in their urban landscapes. This commitment, supported by the Clean Air Fund, is aimed at fostering healthier, more sustainable environments for over 140 million residents.
Clarity offers advanced air quality monitoring solutions specifically tailored to the needs of C40 cities looking to deploy climate-resilient infrastructure at the city-wide scale.
Here's how Clarity can be your partner in creating a cleaner and healthier future:

Addressing urban air quality challenges
"The data provided by the sensors helped to speed up the city’s decision-making. Today, the sensor readings have had a direct impact on public opinion. This year, we launched public ecological transport and eco-taxi, and we are launching a new system of dedicated public transport lanes that will directly affect the transition to eco-friendly modes of transportation.”
"Today we have 50 Clarity sensors in Almaty that provide us with online data on the type of particles and pollution in different parts of the city. Thanks to these sensors, we can plan environmental measures in Almaty.”
"In 2020, we installed 50 sensors in the city of Bishkek. Since the Clarity Node-S sensors installed in Bishkek are small, we installed them all over the city. We placed some of them near roads, some in residential areas, and some in social facilities. Thanks to the Global SIM Card which is incorporated in the sensors, we get the data directly to our system which allows us to visualize the data. The data is ready for analysis.”
"We don’t have a lot of staff time to spend setting up or fine-tuning this equipment — Clarity’s managed service model allows us to multiply the number of sensors in our network with minimal additional overhead on our end. We're going from six particulate matter monitors to more than 20 — with one placed in each local municipality — so we expect to have more granularity in looking at how smoke impacts people across our three-county jurisdiction."
"We needed high-density data to develop a model that was representative of a real situation on a very local scale – so multiple devices and multiple locations. The Clarity Node-S was ideal for this use case."
Addressing urban air quality challenges
Cities today grapple with significant challenges posed by air quality and its impact on health, economies, and vulnerable communities. Clarity’s air quality measurement solutions provide the data required to address these challenges.
Public health costs of air pollution
Poor air quality leads to premature deaths, increased disease burden, and negative economic consequences.
Climate-vulnerable communities
Disadvantaged communities within cities are disproportionately affected by the health risks of dirty air & climate change.
Lack of air quality data
Scarce air quality data hampers effective policymaking and obstructs progress towards cleaner air.
Need for air quality targets
Setting and achieving ambitious air quality targets aligned with global standards remains a challenge for cities lacking baseline air pollution data.
Tackling air pollution and the climate crisis go hand-in-hand. Both need swift, unprecedented and collective action to removethe pollution that is harming our health and warming our planet.
