The campaign assumptions
Good air quality is crucial to promoting and improving children's health. The first step towards improving air quality is improving overall awareness by making air quality data more accessible to school staff, parents, and children. Air quality has recently come to the forefront of political discourse in the wake of the ongoing pandemic.
An Airly sensor which measures particulate matter (PM) and gases is offered for a 6 month period, completely free of charge. The sensor will monitor outdoor levels of Particulate Matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) and dangerous pollutant gases like NO2 which is particularly harmful to children. This data is available to view for free on an easy to use, color coded air pollution map via our Airly Mobile App or desktop map (airly.org/map/en).
Our goal
Throughout the 6 months your school will have the sensor we aim to help engage parents, the community, and your local governments by providing them with essential data about the air your school children are exposed to. With this data, schools, parents, and governments can act in a multitude of ways to better protect their students. Schools can make changes to school activities and student schedules to better mitigate student's exposure to dangerous emissions, while governments can use the data to identify significant emission sources in and around the schools.
