Aclima: mapping air pollution street by street
Aclima equips vehicles with mobile sensors to map air pollution at neighbourhood scale, making local exposure visible in ways a handful of fixed monitors cannot.
The company
What it does
Aclima is an environmental technology company that combines sensor-equipped vehicles, mapping and data analysis to measure pollutants in outdoor air. Its platform is used by public agencies and other organisations seeking more local information about air quality.
Across markets
Air pollution varies from one road or block to the next, so citywide averages can conceal local exposure. Aclima’s mobile measurement model can help authorities identify where monitoring or mitigation deserves attention. The maps are measurements, not a substitute for health studies or proof that a particular intervention reduced illness; their value depends on coverage, repeat measurement and careful interpretation.

GCEIP view
What the record tells us
Aclima’s business case rests on turning environmental data into a practical planning tool. GCEIP sees its distinctive contribution in the resolution of the measurements: public decision-makers can ask more specific questions about exposure and sources. The strongest impact evidence will come when agencies use that information and publish what changed as a result.
