Supporting the WHO Clean Air Roadmap with Real-Time Monitoring from Sensorbee

Air pollution is responsible for over eight million deaths each year—roughly one in every eight globally. In May 2025, the World Health Assembly (WHA) approved a new roadmap to change that, setting a bold target: cut air pollution-related deaths by 50% by 2040. But ambition alone isn’t enough. To succeed, countries need reliable, real-time data to identify where pollution is worst, understand what’s driving it, and measure whether interventions are working.

This is where Sensorbee offers a critical solution.

A Smarter Way to Monitor Urban Air

Sensorbee’s air quality platform is designed to close the gaps in traditional monitoring infrastructure. Instead of relying on a few large, expensive stations, our system enables dense, distributed networks of compact sensors that deliver continuous, real-time data. The Sensorbee Pro 2 is a solar-powered, wireless sensor station that tracks key pollutants—including particulate matter (PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀), nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide—alongside environmental data like temperature and humidity.

This setup is built for flexibility. Units can be installed within minutes in areas where pollution data is critically lacking: near traffic corridors, industrial sites, residential neighborhoods, or public institutions. Data flows securely to the cloud via LTE-M or NB-IoT, where it’s instantly available for visualization, reporting, and alerts—no manual downloads, no complicated setup.

From Data to Impact

Beyond accurate readings, Sensorbee’s value lies in its ability to turn data into actionable insights. Real-time measurements help city planners and policymakers identify pollution hotspots, track the effectiveness of interventions like traffic restrictions or emission zones, and respond quickly when air quality deteriorates. At the same time, open access to this data—via public dashboards or API integrations—builds transparency and trust, encouraging communities to take part in clean air efforts.

Each device is modular, which means it can be tailored to specific local needs. Additional sensors can be added to detect CO₂, noise, or vibrations—making it just as useful for a quiet suburban street as for a busy construction zone. And because the units are solar-powered and weatherproof, they work just as well in remote areas as in city centers.

Enabling the Roadmap, One Sensor at a Time

The WHO’s roadmap is a global call to action, but progress happens locally. It depends on the ability to track, respond to, and learn from the realities of air pollution on the ground. Sensorbee provides that ability. Our technology empowers governments, NGOs, researchers, and communities with the tools they need to monitor air quality at scale—affordably, accurately, and in real time.

By bridging the gap between policy and practice, Sensorbee helps transform the WHO’s targets into real-world improvements in public health. Better air starts with better data—and that’s what we’re here to deliver.
