Sclariment: Air Evidence

Sclariment helps residents, community members, and environmental professionals evaluate whether existing regional air quality monitors can answer localized air quality concerns.

When outdoor smoke, industrial emissions, or recurring odors affect a neighborhood, a distant regulatory monitor often records clean air simply because wind carries the plume elsewhere. Sclariment uses an atmospheric dispersion model to examine whether existing monitor readings are physically positioned to answer your specific local question.

Features
• Case-Based Air Evidence: Create private local records linking a specific place, historical hour, and your observations.
• Plume Alignment: Calculate downwind and crosswind alignment relative to reported emission sources and local wind direction.
• Monitor Location Evaluation: Determine whether an existing ambient monitor was located upwind, downwind, or outside an active dispersion path.
• Structured Measurement Proposals: Prepare structured requests for targeted physical air sampling to submit to environmental officers and public agencies.
• Local Security: Set an optional device PIN to protect your local records.

Tested Limits and Disclosures
• Rough Estimates Only: Model calculations represent a typical level for a supported hour and are rough estimates, not safety certifications. In retrospective tests against real field measurements, about 7 in 10 estimates fell between half and double the measured value.
• No Safety Verdicts: Sclariment does not display concentration ranges or pass/fail safety verdicts for any place and hour. Such claims are withheld because statistical coverage calibration did not meet scientific criteria.
• Validated Boundaries: Forward estimates are supported only for elevated urban chimney heights between 50 and 120 meters under 1-hour periods at downwind distances between 800 meters and 88 kilometers.
• Refusal Under 800 Meters: Locations closer than 800 meters (0.8 kilometers) to an emission source are refused because nearby building turbulence can pull emissions directly to ground level in ways steady-state models cannot reliably predict.
• Direct Route to Testing: Whenever a location falls outside validated boundaries or cannot be resolved by existing monitors, Sclariment helps you outline a request for physical air sampling.
