Soofa, a provider of solar-powered kiosks with OOH advertising, has announced its air quality widget rollout in partnership with Boston’s Environment Department, according to a press release.
The widget provides kiosk viewers in the Boston area with air quality updates and recommendations for outdoor activity, including information related to recent Canadian wildfires.
“This cutting-edge widget is designed to safeguard public health by providing real-time observed air quality data and forecasts using information from more than 2,000 monitoring stations,” Jacques de Kock, head of engineering at Soofa, said in the release. “As we strive to make a positive impact, Soofa wants to ensure that the people of Boston can access crucial air quality information and stay protected wherever they are.”
“We’re excited to partner with Soofa to increase accessibility of live air quality information and help Bostonians make educated decisions to protect themselves from the harmful effects of air pollution,” Maria Rodriguez Ortega, air quality project manager with the City of Boston Environment Department, said in the release. “Air pollution affects everyone, but it disproportionately impacts environmental justice communities. This initiative is one of many strategies to help the City of Boston close this gap.”
