GAO Case Studies

Los Angeles, California, USA

The City of Los Angeles deployed a network of air quality monitoring stations across high-traffic zones. Using real-time data, the city adjusted traffic flows and enforced emissions compliance zones, leading to a 12% reduction in PM2.5 levels within two years.

Chicago, Illinois, USA

In collaboration with a local health department, Chicago integrated air quality stations with asthma response systems. The predictive alerts allowed the health department to issue targeted warnings, reducing emergency room visits by 8% in affected districts.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Toronto implemented air quality monitors across key school zones and construction sites. ICity Tek’s cloud platform enabled city officials to flag high-risk areas and adjust public exposure plans in real-time. This initiative helped shape new environmental ordinances on air pollution exposure limits.
