While air pollution has well-recognized effects on the lungs and cardiovascular system, it also significantly impacts the brain, adversely affecting cognitive and mental health.
By recognizing the multitude of impacts that air quality has on other sectors, we can leverage the co-benefits that come with cleaner air to galvanize action.
Climate change and air pollution are both global environmental crises with enormous health, economic, and environmental impacts — but also environmental justice issues.
As air quality monitoring technology progresses to allow for more localized, specialized measurement of air pollutants, air quality policy has also become more targeted.
Low-cost sensors can be used in a wide range of different air quality monitoring projects, either alone or in conjunction with reference-grade air quality monitors.
As our Environmental Project Manager, Katie Moore works closely with community and environmental justice groups to ensure the success of Clarity’s air quality monitoring networks.
An increasing number of platforms are enabling open access to air quality data, which is important for increasing public awareness and supporting air improvement initiatives.
We break down the USEPA's Enhanced Air Quality Monitoring for Communities program as a key moment in recognizing the importance of community-based air quality monitoring.
