Following the challenge of improving air quality in Sandwell, and after receiving an air quality grant from the department for environment, food & rural affairs (DEFRA) in 2021, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is using eight EarthSense Zephyr air quality monitors, its MappAir pollution model and MyAir public portal to deliver live air pollution data to faith centres and their communities. The services are being used by faith leaders to raise public awareness of air pollution in Sandwell and demonstrate how people can adjust their everyday behaviour to improve local levels.
