Poor air quality has been linked to a variety of detrimental economic impacts, especially related to healthcare expenditures, lost workdays, ecosystem damage, and decreased tourism. However, research also shows that the economic gain associated with improving the air outweigh these costs by a factor of 30, presenting clear support of air pollution mitigation action.

Mining and industrial operations are major sources of air pollution, making it highly important to monitor air quality to protect employees and surrounding communities from exposure.

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.

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 we delve into air pollution's myriad of negative health effects, we explore the way that poor air quality impacts the human body from head to toe.

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.
