iBreathe mobile app:  Air quality info goes high-tech

 

August 2010

The Sacramento Region is ranked as having some of the worst air quality in the nation and asthma and other damaging health impacts affect far too many people here.  To help parents, kids, seniors, and advocates get instant access to the latest air quality conditions,  Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails (BCSET) teamed up with the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) to develop a new mobile iPhone application - iBreathe: Sacramento.

This new application puts air quality conditions in the hands of iPhone users, displaying air quality information on 15 areas and cities in the Greater Sacramento region.  Data are provided in real-time, and notifications can be customized by level of sensitivity and by geographic area.  With an easy-to-understand map of air quality, users can make more informed choices regarding outdoor activities and modes of transportation, leading to improved health and regional air quality. 

The iBreathe: Sacramento app can be downloaded at no charge at the iTunes store.  Non-iPhone users can find forecast information directly at www.sparetheair.com.
