The Davis County Health Department is enhancing air quality awareness by installing 41 TELLUS air quality sensors throughout the county. These sensors provide real-time data accessible through the health department’s website and TELLUS’s AirView app.
Unlike standard consumer-grade monitors, these sensors offer more reliable and accurate data without the high cost of state-level monitoring systems. Currently, 25 sensors are live, creating a comprehensive county-wide heat map of air quality. Residents can zoom in on sensors near their homes or destinations to make informed decisions about their daily activities.
“This initiative empowers the community with real-time insights,” said Brian Hatch, Director of the Davis County Health Department. Over time, the sensors will help identify pollution sources, like dust from the Great Salt Lake, enabling public health officials to address specific local challenges effectively.
