Before You Buy: A Guide to Choosing Air Sensors that Allow Fully Open Data Sharing

OpenAQ is pleased to share a new guide for organizations that are launching air quality monitoring networks and want sovereignty over the data they generate.

If you intend to procure air sensors for a new or expanded monitoring effort and you want the right to do with the data as you wish, including sharing the data in a fully open manner, check out Before You Buy: A Guide to Choosing Air Sensors that Allow Fully Open Data Sharing.

The guide covers two key considerations:

• Data ownership
• Data licensing

For those who wish to share data with OpenAQ, the guide outlines the steps to follow both before and after equipment procurement.

OpenAQ and many air quality funders believe in the power of open air quality data to accelerate progress toward a clean air future. No matter whether, when, or with whom you might wish to share data, the important thing is to be informed before you buy!
