Airly Air Quality Monitoring and Data Platform

Airly provides an end-to-end air quality monitoring solution for local governments and regulated sectors, operating through Airly Sp. z o.o. in Krakow, Poland, Airly Air Quality Services Ltd in Warwick, UK, and Airly Inc. in the US. It aims to make air quality compliance achievable by identifying pollution sources, detecting exceedances and delivering hyperlocal, real-time data.

The offer follows three steps: Measure, with certified real-time sensors for particulate matter, gases and weather; Analyse, through the Airly Data Platform, APIs and analytics for trends, anomalies and compliance reports; and Act, with public alerts, citizen education, ESG communication and operational response. The public Airly Map shares data with residents. Sensors in cities such as Birmingham, Athens and Belgrade feed the network.

• Certified sensors: real-time measurement of particulate matter, gases and weather.
• Airly Data Platform: dashboards to track trends, detect anomalies and create reports.
• APIs: data access for integration with city or enterprise systems.
• Airly Map: public hyperlocal air quality map for residents.
• Act tools: public alerts, citizen education and ESG communication.
• Sector packages: local authorities, construction, industry, enterprises and healthcare.

Provincial environment departments can densify PM2.5 monitoring in residential areas and issue public alerts during haze episodes. Construction companies can track dust at large project sites. Hospitals and schools can use local data to protect vulnerable groups and communicate air conditions.

MCERTS-certified sensors give local authorities and regulated companies data they can rely on for compliance decisions. Hyperlocal coverage reveals pollution sources and exceedances that sparse reference stations miss. Airly reports that the Lodz Voivodeship cut polluted days by 80% using its approach, and public alerts and data sharing help reduce complaints during smog episodes.

Local governments face stricter air quality targets and public pressure for transparency, while companies need environmental data for ESG reporting. In Vietnam, provinces are expanding automatic monitoring and publishing AQI data, opening opportunities for sensor networks that combine compliance data with public communication.

Airly operates entities in Krakow (Poland), Warwick (UK) and Palo Alto (US), with data from more than 50 countries. Investors named on its site include Giant Ventures, Firstminute Capital and Pi Labs, as well as individual backers such as Holly Branson. Its sensors are MCERTS certified.
