Mission
Why
- Air pollution is in the top 10 risks worldwide & the top 6 risks in developing countries in Asia
- Air pollution kills 4.5 million people a year But these figures hide what can be highly local, personal risk.
Air quality can vary sharply even within the same city block, and pollution exposure can vary 30% between individuals living in the same residence
What
- Cleair helps us understand at a local and personal level where pollution is, where it comes from, and its impacts on us
- Data insights delivered by Cleair Analytics can be used to make effective pollution management decisions
- By making air pollution visible and measurable, Cleair provides a more comprehensive picture of air pollution across cities allowing us to manage pollution better
How
- Measuring pollution variation over short distances in real time providing a more granular and effective picture of air pollution across cities
- Leveraging data from existing monitoring infrastructure along with data from an optimised network of low cost sensor devices Cleair uses state of the art AI modelling to accurately measure localised pollution and its variation over short distances
- The Cleair Device detects concentration of major air pollutants PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and Ozone along with temperature, pressure & humidity
- Powered by AI and deep learning models, Cleair collates data from various open sources including other devices and available satellite data to provide useful insights at a granular level
- Cleair Analytics comes with powerful visualisations to track local pollutant levels over times and across location to provide better insights on the local pollution and its exposure
Platform
- Using powerful AI algorithmns, The Cleair Analytics platforms converts these data into meaningful insights that can highlight pollution variation over time and location, identify and predict local hotspots or highlight the times of days with highest pollution levels
- The platform enables notifications and alarms to be easily configured for monitoring purposes such as monitoring of specific air pollutants, recording images of pollution sources, recording threshold alarms
- The portal provides various dashboards to sho w pollution development in real time and generate historical snapshots
Platform Features
- Geo-Tagged Mobile Device
- Can be fitted on any moving vehicle such as car, bicycle, drone.
- Can also be used in stationary positions such as electric poles or buildings.
- Modularized pluggable Sensors
- Low cost modular device with pluggable sensors allowing flexibility
- Can be configured with different gas and particle sensors
- Backed by industry leading sensor technology combined with powerful AI modelling, Cleair delivers real time accurate local reading
- Flexible Power
- Power using USB, Solar and direct AC supply
- Cloud Based Communication
- Communication via BLE, WiFi and 4G IoT Technology
- Real-time cloud analytics and reporting








Applications

- Reduce health spending
- Avoid fines for non attainment
- Improve urban planning
- Facilitate carbon trading
- Disaster management through early alerts

- Ensure regulatory compliance via independent monitoring
- Reduce impact of poor air quality on citizens

- Identify high polluting routes
- Identify high polluting vehicles
- Introduce clean fleet
Projects

Fleet electrification is one of the strategies for improving urban air pollution in Kolkata. The project identified high polluting corridors in Kolkata using low cost sensors and these corridors were selected for EV deployment. Data is being collected over two years with a network of sensors and shows the following results:

Cities across the world have understood that now is the time to move towards clean mobility and have already begun to remodel their urban space with more emphasis on walking and bicycling. Cleair route finders calculates alternative routes with the lowest concentration of pollutants in New Town, Kolkata made available to citizen via the Cleair app.

Varanasi is one of India’s historic cities and a prime tourist destination is also one of the most polluted. Cleair’s Varanasi deployment creates a hyperlocal network in a city which only has one monitoring station and will provide critical insights on the spaiotemporal variation as well as identify hotspots allowing.
Our Models
- Existing pollution measurement stations
- Complemented by Cleair devices.

S12 East-West corridor route shows. The route is mostly polluted throughout as it starts from Howrah Station, central Kolkata, and pollution level eases as we move to Salt Lake Route close to Sealdah Railways station is severely pollution
S9 North-South corridor route shows. The route is more polluted in the northern part as well as in the Rash Bihari Avenue. This route runs along the Hooghly river and it shows a lower level of pollution alongside the river, And towards the south-western end


Expertise
We leverage our partnership with a network of atmospheric & data scientists nd experts from Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, UC Berkeley to test, validate and forecast. Cleair uses the latest research findings from these institutes in areas such as positioning of devices, modelling of pollution data and presentation of insights.

Cleair has partnered with Move LA to champion strategies to accelerate Move LA’s goal to foster cleaner and healthy neighbourhoods where people of all ages and incomes can live, work and thrive.
Cleair has partnered with Smart Pandemic Management @UC Berkeley to address the joint challenges of reopening the economy and managing subsequent outbreaks. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of dying from COVID-19. Cleair’s analysis of air pollution in Kolkata indicates a coarse corelation between Covid 19 severity and bad air pollution.
