Aclima Launches Comprehensive Air Pollution Mapping Initiative in 64 Underserved California Communities
San Francisco, CA – June 30, 2025 – Aclima, a leader in environmental sensing technology, today announced the launch of a significant initiative to map air pollution at an unprecedented block-by-block level across 64 underserved communities throughout California. This ambitious project utilizes Aclima’s advanced sensor-equipped vehicles, designed to gather granular data on air quality in areas historically disproportionately affected by pollution.
The program aims to provide a detailed understanding of air pollution exposure at the neighborhood level, shedding light on the specific sources and patterns of pollutants in communities that often bear the brunt of environmental burdens. By deploying vehicles equipped with sophisticated sensing technology, Aclima will collect data on a range of air pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. This data is crucial for identifying environmental justice issues and informing targeted public health interventions.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of environmental equity. Underserved communities, often characterized by lower income levels and a higher proportion of minority populations, frequently experience greater exposure to harmful air pollutants due to proximity to industrial sites, major roadways, and other pollution sources. The granular data collected by Aclima’s vehicles will empower community leaders, policymakers, and public health officials with the precise information needed to advocate for cleaner air and implement effective solutions.
“We are thrilled to embark on this vital project, bringing our cutting-edge sensing technology to the communities that need it most,” said [Name and Title, if available in the original PR]. “Our goal is to democratize access to air quality data, enabling a deeper understanding of pollution’s impact at the most local level. This information is essential for fostering healthier environments and ensuring that all Californians have the right to breathe clean air.”
The deployment of these sensor-equipped vehicles will cover a wide geographical spread across California, prioritizing communities identified as being most vulnerable. The data collected will be made accessible through Aclima’s platform, allowing for open analysis and fostering collaboration among various stakeholders working towards environmental justice and improved public health outcomes.
This project underscores Aclima’s commitment to leveraging technology for positive environmental and social impact. By illuminating the nuances of air pollution at the block-by-block level, Aclima hopes to drive meaningful change and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future for all Californians.
