This map is powered by city-owned environmental sensors
Sense SB: Air Quality is a civic innovation initiative that aims to address the gap in meaningful data on air quality and extreme heat in city limits. The Department of Innovation and Technology and Office of Sustainability have partnered to deploy a network of environmental sensors to provide real time, citywide data on ambient air temperature and air pollutants.
Are you interested in expanding our network of sensors? By purchasing a personal AirU Pro sensor through our partner TELLUS and making your device publicly available, you help our map reflect the most accurate model of local air quality. Learn more about purchasing sensors here.
