New service delivers insights from air quality data

Airly, the specialist developer of air quality measurement and communication tools, has announced the launch of ‘Airly Fact Sheets’, an additional feature for the online Airly Platform.

“This new facility utilises automation and AI to dramatically enhance and speed up the creation of air quality reports,” explained Airly’s Marta Steiner.

“Many of our customers need to engage with local organisations such as schools and hospitals in matters relating to air quality. To achieve this, they were previously painstakingly creating leaflets and newsletters featuring data from Airly sensors,” Marta explained. “However, this was a slow, laborious process, so we developed ‘Airly Fact Sheets’ so that they could create professional, informative leaflets that provided information and insights that members of the public could easily understand.”

The size, accuracy and cost of Airly’s air quality sensors has enabled local government, schools and health authorities to monitor air quality continuously in many more locations than would have been possible in the past. Consequently, an enormous amount of data is being produced, so the Airly Fact Sheets function was created to ensure that these organisations can extract maximum value from the data that they are generating.

For a small extra cost, users can add the Fact Sheets facility to their Dashboard on the Airly Platform. This allows them to create bespoke templates using logos, images and whatever air quality or health related information they wish to display.

Users simply select the air quality index or parameters that they wish to display, and the timescale required, and a bespoke document will be automatically created, with AI generated insights based on the data. So, for example, if NO2 levels are high during the selected period, the report could explain the likely sources and the potential health impacts. Every brochure can be exported as a pdf for printing or digital circulation.

Early users of the facility have found the Fact Sheets useful in a variety of ways. For example, they have helped improve understanding of air quality issues within local communities, within schools, and within different departments in councils and other public bodies. They have also helped engage with parents on the impacts of vehicles outside schools, and with local residents when implementing air quality mitigation, or when considering planning and development proposals.

Marta concluded: “Continuous air quality monitoring data presents a fantastic opportunity to better understand the sources of pollution and the health impacts that they incur. However, the opportunities for improvement will be significantly lower if the data is not presented in an easy-to-understand format. The new AI-powered Fact Sheets facility will therefore help to ensure that local authorities, schools and health authorities are able to quickly and easily generate valuable air quality insights.”
