Environmental Justice

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!

Community Air Grants (CAGs) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) can provide up to $500K in funding. Learn more about the Draft Cycle 5 Request for Applications (RFA) and how your community can benefit — the RFA opens on September 3rd, 2024, and the deadline for applications is November 1, 2024.

Discover how local air quality is transforming real estate value, emerging as a key asset for properties and a major consideration for buyers and investors seeking healthier, more desirable urban environments.

TL;DR — Ports and logistics operations are major sources of harmful air pollution that affects air quality and climate health both locally and at the global scales — especially as maritime shipping becomes increasingly prominent globally. By implementing effective air quality monitoring and port emission reduction strategies, we can work to reduce these negative impacts and promote more environmentally friendly global supply chains.

This legislation allocates approximately $2 million in funds through IRA 60105 (c) Grant Program specifically for the deployment, integration, and operation of air quality sensors in communities identified as low-income or disadvantaged, highlighting a commitment to environmental justice and the mitigation of pollution's unequal health impacts.

Discover how cutting-edge air quality monitoring technologies empower communities to tackle the silent threat of air pollution, paving the way for healthier, more resilient environments.

New air quality measurement technology is not just changing the way we monitor air pollution; it's rewriting the rules on air quality management, enabling a shift towards more precise, effective environmental regulations.

Sean Wihera, our VP of Business Development and Partnerships, joins us in conversation about his experience on the Environmental Technologies Trade Advisory Committee (ETTAC) working to advise on the export of environmental technologies.

The COVID-19 pandemic served as a reminder of the air pollution exposure disparities experienced by underresourced communities and the intersections between air quality, health, and environmental justice.
