AIR

The Hyperlocal Global Air Quality Index

How We Help

Rapid urbanisation, growing populations, and increasing car ownership mean that over 92% of the global population is experiencing the adverse effects of air pollution.

Along with project partners Kings College London, we are creating a new Global Air Quality Index and data to enable key decision-makers, including consumers, to understand the impacts air quality has on their countries, businesses, families and homes.

Benefits

Comply with planning policies
Alert employees/stakeholders/customers/public
Individual locations can be monitored through our online Tools providing immediate, clear feedback for non-experts

Features

Superior quality

20m resolution - Air quality metrics can be provided every 20m.
Complete coverage - Data will be provided continuously, throughout each city;
Unique EO derived input - No other model utilises satellite-derived vehicle detections (and certainly not derived speeds of each vehicle) as a proxy for vehicle emissions;
Robust scientific approach – This is the only product based upon emissions and dispersion models, both of which have a long track record in the air pollution field.
Superior spatial / temporal resolution – VHR satellite imagery used to derive car counts at 30cm resolution and are able to classify moving vehicles from those that are parked
