ClearSpot score
42%
At 42%, Glarus's environmental profile shows considerable pressure - particularly from pollen. Individual neighbourhoods may differ significantly from this city-centre average.
Published tables use the same default thresholds for everyone so rankings stay comparable. On the home map, your tuned sensitivities still drive the live chip.
Environmental indicators
| Module | Score | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Wind turbines | 0% | Wind turbine data shows no documented installations within the default 1.5 km sensitivity radius for this location. |
| Pollen | 67% | High pollen pressure (67%). Significant allergenic pollen concentrations are documented for this area in the reference period. |
| Air quality | 0% | Air quality data shows no documented exceedance of default sensitivity thresholds at this pin. |
| Noise | 0% | No major strategic noise sources are documented within default ClearSpot sensitivity thresholds for this location. |
| Light pollution | 0% | Light pollution data shows no significant radiance pressure within default ClearSpot thresholds for this location. |

How to read this place
At default settings the indexed pressures are relatively high here. That is not a medical diagnosis; it is a prompt to inspect turbines, air, pollen, noise, and night-sky data in context and with your sensitivities.
Short-term vs long-term
In the short term, spikes come from weather, pollen season, construction, or night lighting—use the live map when deciding whether to open a window or plan outdoor time.
Over months and years, patterns matter for where you settle: turbine proximity, chronic noise corridors, recurring pollen sources, and persistent air basins. The blog and data guides explain how each layer is built.
