Science
Delivering quality air data and insights rooted in science
Unlocking New Understanding
We engage in ongoing validation of our novel approaches through independent verification, publication, and cooperative research with leading research institutions. Examples include partnerships with the California Air Resources Board, UT Austin, Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, and Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. Our groundbreaking peer-reviewed publications have introduced a new understanding of hyperlocal air pollution, exposure, and methods for data collection.
Air Disparities in the Bay Area
Results from the first major application of Aclima's Community Impact and Investment Index across all 101 cities in the San Francisco Bay Area leveraging Aclima air pollution data from the largest region-wide mobile sensor network.
Partnership with US EPA
A Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) was signed between EPA and Aclima in April of 2013 for 5 years and, in 2016, amended for an additional 5 years to 2023. The CRADA was designed to advance development of next-generation, cost-effective solutions for monitoring and managing air pollution at the community scale, to protect public health.
Together, we're delivering on three central aims for our research to make hyperlocal monitoring scalable.
Advancing Data Quality
Aclima is committed to delivering the highest levels of data quality possible from our hyperlocal measurements. Developed with EPA, Aclima's Quality Assurance Program Plan details our mobile air monitoring objectives, methods, measurement objectives, quality control procedures, data verification, validation and management and analysis.
Together, we're delivering on three central aims for our research to make hyperlocal monitoring scalable.
