The latest in air quality monitoring

Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) are a group of pollutants formed from nitrogen and oxygen, primarily referring to nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). These gases have adverse health effects and contribute to smog, acid rain, and ozone formation.

Carbon Monoxide, formed by the incomplete burning of carbon-based fuels, is invisible, odorless, and poisonous. It contributes indirectly to climate change and is regulated globally.

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.

Air quality has improved significantly since the LA fires began, and regular activities can be resumed. Yet, ash should be cleaned up by professionals and precautions may need to be taken near burn areas. Some toxic air pollutants may linger.

Air pollution poses a severe global health and environmental threat, making accurate and open air quality data crucial. Yet, many governments do not monitor or share air quality measurements, largely due to a lack of funding and technical expertise.

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.

Clarity Movement was founded in 2014; this year, 2024, marked ten years of our work empowering communities, governments, and industries to combat air pollution. Founded on the belief that clean air is a fundamental human right, we’ve grown from developing OPC sensor technology to deploying air quality sensors in more than 10,000 unique locations across 85+ countries. This blog reflects on our journey, highlights our milestones and partnerships, and outlines our vision for the future.

With a focus on breaking down barriers to federal funding, the program ensures that underserved and marginalized communities can access resources to address pressing environmental and climate injustices, including air quality monitoring. Learn more!

Our Quality Control (QC) Assessment and QC Flags features, previously available on the Clarity Dashboard, are now fully integrated into our Air Monitoring API and historical air quality data report downloads in the Clarity Dashboard.

We are thrilled to announce that the RAC Air Health Monitor (AHM), powered by Clarity's advanced Node-S air quality sensors, has been honored with the 2024 Clean Air Society of Australia & New Zealand (CASANZ) Innovation and Excellence Award in the Industry Excellence category.
