CLEAR Research Program

Clinical Local Environmental Air and Regulatory Intelligence. CLEAR Research integrates environmental, geographic, regulatory, healthcare, and community data to study patterns relevant to respiratory and public health.

Explore CLEAR

Understand what is happening around a place

Choose a point on the map and explore a location. CLEAR brings together source-linked air-monitoring records, historical context, and nearby regulated facilities to help you examine local environmental conditions and identify questions worth investigating.

CLEAR is free to explore, with no account required to begin. Extended use may require a free account to help protect public access and platform performance.

Use of CLEAR is subject to the Terms of Use. Our Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.

What you can explore

Put the data to work

Current air conditions

Find nearby monitoring information and see how recent each observation is.

Historical context

See how a current reading compares with the monitor's available history.

Nearby regulated facilities

Source-linked evidence

Review the context and stated limitations behind the available evidence.

CLEAR is provided for public information, screening, and research. It does not provide medical advice or independently determine causation, regulatory compliance, legal responsibility, or individual health risk. Data coverage and recency vary by source.

Certain data, software, or analytical capabilities may be made available to PulmHealth Foundation by PulmHealth LLC under written research-use agreements.

Program overview

CLEAR Research brings together data that is usually kept separate: environmental measurements, geographic context, regulatory and permitting records, healthcare utilization, and community conditions. It uses that combined view to describe patterns relevant to respiratory and public health. The program emphasizes documented provenance, transparent methods, and careful, non-causal interpretation.
