“We chose Clarity because they provided up-to-date, local, scientifically-backed, and relevant data to make decisions about whether to keep students inside. Because of the geography and demographics in our county, the official air monitoring stations are about an hour away with hills in between, providing irrelevant data. We would have poor air quality and the official stations would be cleared; or the official stations would show heavy particulate levels and we would have clean air."

“Addressing community concerns and improving public health are the primary goals of any air quality program. The Clarity Nodes we have deployed are placed near sensitive populations and projects as a way of better protecting the health of our residents and better informing our decisions around air quality.”

‍

The information we get from the Clarity sensors and the air health monitoring has helped us shape a lot of what we're doing under our sustainability pillar. It helps us understand our natural environment, which then helps us to protect and enhance it for future generations and current generations. Having access to this data helps us in one of our key objectives for the city, which is to attract residents to the city in the future.”

"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.”

“With Clarity's hyperlocal network, we can begin to provide a more complete picture of how air pollution is occurring in a given micro region, and what preventive actions we need to take to minimize exposure. We can also measure the effectiveness of each activity taken by measuring concentrations BEFORE and AFTER that activity. This encourages us to think about policies that we want to change. It raises citizen awareness and creates a narrative that influences positive change. We need to know what the air is like NOW AND IMMEDIATELY, at each MICRO location, to react IMMEDIATELY, and to sanction those who are disrupting our health, the future of our youngest, and the future of our country. Every citizen of the municipality of Strumica has a strong ally in such innovative technology."

"Having real-time, very hyper-local data about the air quality where you are spending your time has great potential to impact people, in terms of the decisions they make, but also in terms of making that connection between the environment and health."
