We’re excited to announce a powerful addition to the Clarity Dashboard: Air Quality (AQ) Alarms. Designed to give timely insights into pollution events, this new feature makes it easier to stay informed and take action when air quality matters most.
Smog includes two main types: sulfurous smog, linked to coal burning and sulfur dioxide, and photochemical smog, formed by sunlight-driven reactions between nitrogen oxides and VOCs, producing ozone and particulate matter.
The Clean Air Act is a landmark U.S. law that has enabled the Environmental Protection Agency to dramatically improve air quality, reduce pollution, and protect public health and the environment since the 1970s
Transboundary air pollution spreads across borders, harming health and ecosystems. Global cooperation is key to identifying sources and reducing pollution worldwide.
Clarity’s Lab Team is excited to release version 2.1 of our PM2.5 Global Calibration! v2.1 improves upon the powerful v2 PM2.5 Global Calibration by increasing accuracy during high-pollution events. In this blog post, we explain how we developed this new calibration and share performance metrics that show a significant improvement in sensor accuracy, especially during periods with elevated pollutant concentrations.
The global NO₂ model offers a practical and scalable solution for indicative monitoring by applying a machine-learning-based correction to all Clarity Nodes, especially in regions where traditional reference equipment may not be available. In this post, we’ll walk you through how we built the model, how it performs, and how it can support your air quality initiatives.
Natural sources such as wildfires, volcanoes, and sandstorms emit air pollutants like particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, sometimes affecting human health and the climate.
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.
Technology can be used to move policy, by providing better datasets to mayors. Panelist David Lu, CEO of Clarity Movement, highlighted the power of data.
We now have smart homes and smart cars, so it’s no surprise that our cities are becoming smarter every day. One problem plaguing many big cities is air pollution, and one company is using technology to help remedy the problem.
TenX has invested in Clarity, a three-year-old company that makes air-pollution monitoring devices which provide hyper-localised and real-time air-quality readings in metropolitan areas.
