"Success doesn’t stop at measurement. We engaged in community-based planning with our community partners. We worked with neighbors to have intimate environmental justice listening sessions. We also had a self-guided EJ Tour where folks could walk around their neighborhood, looking at our data map, and then mark down things that they saw in the neighborhood that might be concerning. And we had a couple of fun virtual block parties, too!"

"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."

“Putting the power of air quality monitoring from institutions into the hands of communities is a game changer – every citizen, at any moment, can monitor air quality at any location in the city. Every politician must know that making decisions that improve air quality are standards that will protect us ourselves. Cooperation between local and central government is needed to determine an Action Plan for improving air quality. By implementing such a project in the municipality of Strumica, we have taken the first step (and the most important) towards such cooperation."

"A program is only half the program when you have the data, and the other half is what information the community will have so that they know what actions to take to protect themselves, to protect their family, their employees, and just their community members in general." 

"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 have installed sensor monitors at 3 locations to detect sources of air pollution. What does this mean? This means that every citizen of the municipality of Strumica is an inspector from today and will be able to monitor concentrations of PM2.5 particles from the sensor monitors, and this application will also be implemented in the Inspection Services of the municipality of Strumica, where air pollution will be monitored around the clock, and they will be able to react quickly to sanction negligent polluters. After electrified public transport and bicycle paths, with this innovative project, we prove that we are seriously investing in reducing air pollution in Strumica."
