“At AirVisual, our goal is to empower everyone to breathe clean, healthy air,” Kelsey Duska, AirVisual Project Lead says Eco-Business. “We have always accepted the quality of the air around us without question, even though 1 out of 3 Americans are at risk of suffering from air pollution’s health effects,” says Duska. “This is partly because we’ve lacked the tools to control what we breathe—until now. With the AirVisual Node, we can instantly see invisible threats around us, which is a critical first step to breathing healthier air.”
The device, which employs AirVisual’s global air pollution map, big data, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things Technologies, takes precise measurements for areas as small as a single room and sends phone alerts. Each node contributes in analysing the pollution, its sources and trends by sending pollution information to an existing network of 8000 monitors.
In its little screen, it displays the levels of immediate particulate matter (PM) and Carbon diOxide present in the air you breathe. It also displays the outdoor air quality data, 3-day pollution forecasts, temperature, relative humidity, and local weather information on a 5-inch LED screen and via smartphone. The enterprise has also released an iPhone app recently.

We know people in many parts of the world are still not taking pollution seriously. It is time we start caring about our healths and the health of our future generations. We must have amazing gadgets like Airvisual on our must-have list, especially the young Chinese moms would find them very useful to locate minimum polluted areas for their kids to play, because not every kid in China can afford to play under the bubble stadiums.
