Interactive Air Quality Maps
Air Quality Network
WRS have established a real-time air quality monitoring network of ‘low-cost Air Quality sensors’ across Worcestershire. The sensors, known as ‘Zephyrs’ are provided, operated and serviced by Earthsense who also provide data access.
Earthsense and WRS have designed a publicly accessible portal to live monitoring data measuring a range of pollutants including nitrogen oxides, ultra fine to coarse particulates and ozone (NO2, PM1, PM10, PM2.5 and O3).
