Access the public-facing air quality dashboard to view hyper-local community air quality information.
JustAir’s air quality dashboard gives you access to real-time information about the air you breathe. Our tools help your community stay safe and track data that can create change.
No one should have to wonder whether the air they breath is safe. At JustAir, our mission is to protect the 20,000 breaths we all take every day. The JustAir platform provides vital health and environmental insights through hyper-local community air quality monitoring networks. Residents can breathe easier and policymakers can implement targeted interventions for a cleaner, safer environment.
The JustAir platform is monitor-agnostic and consists of a public-facing dashboard, opt-in air quality text alerts, and an administrator dashboard for network management, quality assurance, and data reporting.
With JustAir, your voice and your data become catalysts for change. Together, we can make a difference in the quality of the air you breathe.

See how we empower residents with air quality data that creates lasting change.
We’re partnering with the City of Grand Rapids, Downtown Grand Rapids Inc, Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities, Community Collaboration on Climate Change (C4), and the NAACP of Greater Grand Rapids to expand the air quality monitoring network to residents and community groups across the city.
We're partnering with environmental justice groups, neighborhood associations and corporate partners to expand the air quality monitoring network to residents and community groups across Detroit.
We offer services that suit the needs of your community. Our Baseline Package includes:
In addition, communities can decide what add-on services they need - from quarterly reports developed by JustAir, community workshops co-facilitated by JustAir, policy change strategy development, and more.
Great! If your community already has high quality air quality monitors, we connect monitors to the JustAir information network. This makes the data publicly accessible, much easier to monitor over time, and sets up air quality text alerts.
We collaborate with government entities, community groups, sponsors, and philanthropy to get JustAir’s products and services funded. On many occasions, a primary funder - like a local government or large nonprofit - makes a multi-year commitment to fund air quality monitors and JustAir’s dashboard and services. However, even if communities don’t have a funding source secure, we’ll work with leaders to identify opportunities that can put JustAir into the hands of residents.
JustAir specializes in hyper-local air quality monitoring. New research shows that air quality can vary greatly - sometimes by up to eight times within one city block. We work with communities to understand potential sources of pollutants and strategically place monitors to best measure air quality to showcase problem areas and disparities that will keep people safe and spark long-term change. There is not a specific number of monitors a community needs, rather a tailored approach that aligns with a community’s pollutant sources and goals for change.
There is a huge range in the type and cost of air quality monitors, which depends on the pollutants you need to detect and the quality of the sensor. At JustAir, we are monitor agnostic, meaning we work to find the right device for your community’s needs. Many high-quality monitors that measure common pollutants (carbon monoxide, particulate matter, etc.) cost between roughly $2,500 - $5,000 each. There are some monitors - like one that measures methane, for example - that cost significantly more. For each project, we work with leaders to identify which monitors best suit the needs of the community, including the budget allocated for monitoring and data sharing.
We don’t just offer one type of air quality monitor, we work with the community to understand potential sources of pollutants and determine which monitoring devices best serve the needs of the community. For example, if a community is concerned with pollutants coming from a busy highway, we’ll recommend a monitor that measures carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. If a community is concerned about an industrial plant, we might recommend monitors that also measure sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, methane, or mercury. Localized air quality monitoring means we work with leaders to determine what your community needs.
