Public information and protection

Air pollution is the most significant environmental health risk. Open maps and live indices raise awareness and build citizen trust.

Informed communities make better decisions

According to the WHO, 7 million people die every year from diseases caused by air pollution, and 9 out of 10 people breathe polluted air. PM2.5, classified as carcinogenic, settles deep in the lungs and enters the bloodstream.

Communities increasingly expect to know what air they are exposed to. Open, live data reduces public concern, promotes behaviour change and helps sensitive groups limit their exposure on bad days.

  • The Airqoon Public Map publishes live, neighbourhood-level indices with no editorial filtering.
  • Citizen feedback flows back to the operator, turning complaints into located, timestamped signals.
  • Indices are shown in EEA, US-EPA and Türkiye standards, matching what residents already know.

How we handle it

The solution we provide

The sensor network feeds a citizen-facing Public Map: live air-quality widgets embeddable on the municipality's own site, location-tagged complaint submission, and wildfire notifications. Residents see the same data your technical staff see, with no editorial filtering.

Transparent communication turns air quality from a political liability into a policy asset: complaints arrive as located, timestamped signals, and the city can show its performance instead of asserting it.

In this deployment
  • Unit L sensor units on lamp posts and municipal buildings
  • Public Map with live widgets and complaint collection
  • Airqoon Lens for the technical team behind the public view
  • Forest-fire early warning integration, proven in Bursa
