Identified as the number one risk to our health by the World Health Organisation, poor air quality causes many premature deaths and blights the quality of life of thousands of people in the UK alone. The suite of services will enable; national and local government, health professionals, insurers, and other stakeholders to understand air quality related risk and respond accordingly.
Measuring Air Quality
Combining satellite data with other ground-based monitoring sensors to monitor the world around us, providing a range of interactive applications that allow users to map, monitor and analyse near real-time levels of air pollution.
Strategies for climate change adaption are crucial to ensure the terms of the Paris Agreement are met and using our services will empower and enable organisations across all sectors to meet their individual targets.
