Current Air Quality Monitor Locations in
New Mexico
ABOUT CLARO
Right now, air quality monitors in New Mexico are concentrated in major metro areas like Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. This leaves rural and tribal communities relying on inaccurate regional models instead of real-time local data.
Without local monitoring, communities can't accurately assess their air quality, identify pollution sources, or make informed decisions to protect their health.
Launched in January 2026, the CLARO Project aims to change that by deploying over 50 monitors across the state, with a focus on underserved communities that need this data most.
Healthy Climate NM is providing CLARO monitors free of charge to selected hosts across New Mexico. Here's what you'll need:
1
✓ Wi-Fi access
The monitor sends data over your existing internet connection.
2
✓ Outdoor power outlet
A standard electrical outlet near where the monitor will be placed.
3
✓ Commitment
to public data
Data will be shared publicly so that everyone benefits.*
Tribal communities may keep their data private if preferred*
