HAIFA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BreezoMeter – the leading provider of real-time environmental intelligence – announced a partnership with Verizon Media – a leader in innovation, commerce and content led by its ecosystem of premium brands like Yahoo, TechCrunch and RYOT – to deliver Yahoo Weather app users access to hourly, location-based air quality data. This important tool empowers users to make informed decisions to limit their exposure to harmful air and better protect their health.
The COVID-19 pandemic and recent record-breaking wildfires have brought personal health and air pollution exposure into the spotlight. People are more aware than ever before of the harmful pollutants in the air they breathe, and they want solutions to help them manage their exposure. BreezoMeter and Verizon Media answered this call.
BreezoMeter provides real-time environmental data through its unique multi-layered data approach, sophisticated algorithms, continuous accuracy-validation methods and attention to delivering personalized information that can be acted upon in real time. Users trust the Yahoo Weather app to ensure their daily forecasts are accurate and now can rely on air quality information and tips on how to better stay safe, wherever they are.
Not only can Yahoo Weather app users now track air quality levels when they check their daily forecast, they now also receive activity recommendations based on real-time BreezoMeter air quality data. For instance, when air conditions are poor, the app will recommend users reduce time spent outdoors to limit exposure. Future updates will include even more features that will help users breathe cleaner air.
“Providing our air quality insights to the extensive Yahoo Weather app user base is not only a privilege but the greatest expression of BreezoMeter’s mission – to help improve the health and quality of life for millions of people worldwide,” said Ran Korber, CEO of BreezoMeter. “By providing one of the world’s most accurate and actionable environmental data and insights, not only do we offer another layer of environmental insight to Yahoo Weather app users, but we also empower millions of people to make healthier and more informed choices on a daily, and even hourly, basis.”
