Nitrogen Dioxide

This blog provides a recap of our recent webinar on the RAC Air Health Monitor, Australia's largest and most advanced air sensor network. Hosted by David Lu, co-founder and CEO of Clarity, the session featured key insights from Julian and David from the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) of Western Australia, and Martin from Ramboll.

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.

Recently, the Greater London Authority and Imperial College London released the 2021–2022 Breathe London Network Air Quality Monitoring Report, highlighting key statistics on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and showcasing the impressive performance of these air quality sensors in comparison to reference monitors.

While air quality can often be poor in urban areas, various innovative approaches have been developed to improve air quality in conjunction with air quality monitoring networks.

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.

Many air pollutants — beyond just CO2 — also have an impact on climate change and atmospheric warming, opening the door for further climate change mitigation opportunities.

Because air pollution is a complex and dynamic phenomenon, measuring a wide array of air pollutants is an important part of understanding a complete view of air quality.

OpenAQ and Clarity announced their partnership to address a gap in global air quality data availability by adding data from participating Clarity networks to OpenAQ's platform.

Clarity Movement today introduced Node-S 2, the exciting second-generation hardware component of its complete air quality monitoring solution, now re-imagined and re-engineered.

In the second installment of our Air Quality Measurements Series, we cover nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and how it is tied to poor air quality, human health, and environmental damage.
