The Power of Hyperlocal Measurement: Aclima’s innovative methods for measuring and analyzing air pollution rely on a combination of roving and stationary sensors that gather data on air pollution and greenhouse gases at an unprecedented scale. The company’s analytical software, Aclima Pro, leverages this information to provide environmental intelligence that supports policy-making, business strategies, and community efforts.

With Aclima Pro, decision-makers can address vital inquiries related to air quality at the neighborhood level: Where are pollution levels the highest? Who is most affected? Where can intervention be focused to lower emissions and safeguard public health? Aclima’s software enhances access and visibility for all stakeholders, complementing existing regulatory frameworks and facilitating more effective climate action.

From Measurement to Intelligence: Aclima’s platform offers an expanding library of curated views that provide a previously unattainable understanding of pollution’s nature and impacts. Users can identify where community levels exceed regulated limits, what challenges a specific neighborhood encounters, how an area compares to the nearest regulatory sites, and what may be causing emissions.

Identifying Sources of Pollution: Aclima has led the way in source detection and identification through its mobile mapping technology. Its sophisticated algorithms can accurately distinguish between various pollution sources, including gas leaks and landfills, allowing for targeted actions to reduce emissions and enhance public health.

Next-Generation Mobile Leak Detection: Aclima’s advanced mobile leak detection technology leverages science-driven AI algorithms to identify leaks more quickly and efficiently than ever before. This approach generates an exceptional amount of actionable information, helping to achieve critical emissions reduction targets while safeguarding public safety and minimizing risk.

Mapping Pollution for Action: Aclima’s fleet gathers air quality and climate pollution measurements at the neighborhood block level and throughout entire communities, adhering to rigorous quality assurance and control standards. The data is analyzed and presented in interactive maps that assist customers in implementing equitable clean air action plans.

Built for Good: The team at Aclima firmly believes that technology should spur positive change. Comprising air quality scientists, engineers, and technicians, they have developed their methods in collaboration with leading experts from government and academia. The company is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the world by providing accurate, reliable, and actionable data that empower decision-makers to take impactful actions.

Looking ahead, Aclima is excited about the prospect of its technology making a significant contribution to combating climate change and enhancing public health.
