Our foundations
The community work we build on.
Meet the communities and partners whose work with AirGradient helped shape the Open Air Foundation.
Lagos, Nigeria
When local measurements started a conversation.
In a fish-smoking community in Lagos, local partners used monitoring data in discussions with public authorities. The Lagos Environmental Protection Agency later installed smokeless eco-kilns.
AirGradient community experience
Different communities. Shared lessons.
Before OAF was established, AirGradient worked with schools, community groups, and public-interest partners around the world. Their experience continues to inform how we support locally led monitoring.
