What Atmo Occitanie does

Atmo Occitanie is a French non-profit association (loi 1901), headquartered in Perols near Montpellier with a regional office in Toulouse, that operates as the officially agréée (state-approved) air quality monitoring body for the entire Occitanie region. Established as part of the national ATMO France federation, it covers 14 departments (Ariege, Aude, Aveyron, Gard, Gers, Haute-Garonne, Hautes-Pyrenees, Herault, Lot, Lozere, Pyrenees-Orientales, Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne) and serves the region's roughly 6 million inhabitants along with municipal authorities, businesses, and member associations.

Its core offering centers on a measurement station network and a suite of public-facing products: real-time air quality forecasting (Prevision Qualite de l'Air) with municipality-level indices, seasonal pollen forecasting (Prevision des Pollens), the AtmoViz interactive data visualization platform, and an ArcGIS-backed open data portal providing free access to historical air quality and emissions datasets. Supporting services include a daily email newsletter (forecast and pollen alerts), an embeddable air quality widget for third-party websites, a municipality-level index lookup ("L'indice de ma commune"), and the Observatoires citoyens des odeurs — a citizen odor reporting program that crowdsources environmental signal collection. Annual reports and thematic studies are also published, including pollution episode histories and emission inventories (11 pollution episode days were recorded in the most recent reporting period).

The business model is that of a public-interest non-profit: revenue is derived from regional government subsidies and membership contributions from local authorities, associations, and businesses. There is no commercial product sales motion, no disclosed revenue figure, and no venture backing. The organization is led by President Emilie Dalix and operates with approximately 32 employees. Strategic differentiation rests on its exclusive regulatory mandate, multi-year longitudinal measurement data, and a community-driven ecosystem of citizen reporters and member organizations.

Emerging players

• Plume Labs: Plume Labs is a commercial air quality forecasting and analytics provider with hyperlocal pollution forecasts. It is comparable in offering forecasting and citizen-facing AQ products, though as a commercial entity rather than a regulatory agréée association.
• IQAir: IQAir is a commercial air quality information platform operating globally with both consumer sensors and a public AQ data platform. It overlaps with ATMO Occitanie on public-facing air quality information and visualization, though it does not hold the agréée regulatory mandate.
• BreezoMeter: BreezoMeter provides commercial air quality, pollen, and fire data APIs to enterprises and applications. It overlaps with ATMO Occitanie's forecasting and pollen services in a commercial B2B context, complementing or competing with public-sector AQ data sources.

Direct peers

• Airparif: Airparif is the agréée air quality monitoring association for the Île-de-France region, operating under the same French regulatory framework as ATMO Occitanie. It is the most direct functional and structural peer, offering identical forecasting, measurement, and open data services for its respective region.
• ATMO Hauts-de-France: ATMO Hauts-de-France is a regional agréée air quality association within the ATMO France federation serving the Hauts-de-France region. It is comparable in mission, methodology, and funding structure to ATMO Occitanie.
• ATMO Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: ATMO Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a fellow member of the ATMO France federation providing agréée air quality monitoring for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It shares the same governance structure, funding model, and product suite as ATMO Occitanie.
• ATMO Nouvelle-Aquitaine: ATMO Nouvelle-Aquitaine is another ATMO France federation member delivering agréée air quality monitoring for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It mirrors ATMO Occitanie's operating model, scope, and service catalog.

Broad incumbents

• European Environment Agency: The European Environment Agency aggregates and publishes air quality data across EU member states, including data sourced from ATMO France federation members. It is comparable in air quality monitoring mandate but operates at a supranational scope.
• Citepa: Citepa is the French technical center specializing in atmospheric pollution and greenhouse gas emissions expertise. It operates at national scope and provides methodological and inventory support that complements regional ATMO associations like ATMO Occitanie.
• INERIS: INERIS is the French national institute for industrial and environmental risk. It operates broadly across environmental monitoring, risk assessment, and pollution control, overlapping with ATMO Occitanie on air quality methodology and toxicology expertise at a national scale.
