A Guide to Air Quality Management 2.0
Replicate the success of Breathe London
Why every region needs to rethink their air management strategy
Global cities need new solutions in their battle for clean air. We're excited to present a new blueprint for effective air quality management, developed through years of experience working with cities globally.
In this whitepaper, authored by Sean Wihera, VP of Business Development at Clarity Movement, you'll learn the unique structure and strategies behind Breathe London's success, and how key stakeholders, from communities, regulators, and analysts to innovative technology and industry partners can collaborate to revolutionize their air management strategy.
In this guide you will learn:
- How has air quality management evolved since the Clean Air Act was enacted?
- Why does severe air pollution persist in many communities and cities globally?
- What are the key gaps in our understanding of air pollution, and how can technology and collaboration address them?
- What is Air Quality Management 2.0, and how does it involve various stakeholders in sustainable air quality programs?
- How does the Breathe London initiative demonstrate the principles of Air Quality Management 2.0, and what can other cities learn from it?
The Breathe London Model
Building a 400+ sensor network for a global city
The Breathe London initiative brought together air quality experts, city agencies, healthcare providers, and local communities to vastly expand air pollution monitoring and drive coordinated policy action. Leveraging Clarity Movement's technologies and framework, the program pioneered a collaborative model for air quality management that achieved dramatic improvements in London's air.

Hear from Breathe London stakeholders
Hyperlocal pollution data is vital to assess the air quality, to help spread awareness, and to start making change. As soon as people understand the air they're breathing, they can start to make real positive change.
We use our reference network with collocated Node-S devices to make estimates of the interactions between the pollutants. This also helps us to make adjustments for the weather conditions like relative humidity, how damp is the air, how hot is the air.
“I am delighted that Londoners will now have access to real-time, accurate air quality data for their area from more than 400 monitoring sites. This will improve awareness and help people reduce their exposure to polluted air and better target efforts on improving air quality at a local level.”
"The Clarity Node-S is light, it has a small solar panel, and it's reliable. We can put them anywhere. All of those things combined mean it is super easy for communities to put them up by themselves."
