Bridging the Gap: AirGradient and GO AQS Announce Webinar on the Future of Indoor Air Quality Standards

As the global conversation around indoor air quality (IAQ) intensifies, the industry is moving toward a critical realization: data is only as good as our ability to understand it. Currently, the world of air quality monitoring is often fragmented, with different manufacturers and regions using varying metrics, languages, and benchmarks. To address this challenge, we…

The Silent Lifeline of IoT: Why Compression is the Future of Air Quality Monitoring

For years, the Internet of Things (IoT) conversation has been dominated by sensors, cloud platforms, and the flashier world of AI analytics. While AI remains the current "buzzword," the reality is that millions of IoT devices are already quietly working in the background, providing the essential sensor data that powers our modern world. However, as these deployments mature and scale, a…

Field Review: nanoDUST AirPN10 — The Next Generation of Nanoparticle Monitoring

The landscape of air quality monitoring is shifting. For years, the focus remained on PM2.5 and PM10 (mass concentration), but we are increasingly realizing that the most dangerous threats are the ones we can’t weigh. Ultrafine particles (UFPs), or nanoparticles, are so small they penetrate deep into the bloodstream, yet they often escape traditional sensors and regulatory implementations.…

How Small Changes to your Daily Routine Could Make a Big Difference to your Exposure to Air Pollution

We often think of air pollution as something that happens "out there", smoggy skylines and exhaust fumes. However, for many of us, the most polluted air we breathe is actually inside our own homes. The good news? You don’t need a massive renovation to fix it. A few strategic changes to your daily habits can drastically reduce your exposure to harmful particulates and…

AirSpot Review: The Wearable CO2 Monitor That Delivers Real-Time Clarity

The world of air quality monitoring has long been dominated by bulky, desk-bound units. The AirSpot, a revolutionary small CO2 monitor, shatters that paradigm. Given to me by the CEO of The Safer Air Project, this device is not just a monitor—it's a truly wearable environmental sensor that brings crucial air quality data right to your wrist or backpack.

Beyond the Gamification: Why 2026 Demands Empathetic AI for Air Quality

In previous articles, I advocated for a "Tamagotchi-like" approach to air quality awareness, a gamified solution designed to capture the public’s attention. At the time, the goal was simple: engagement. If we could make checking air quality as addictive as feeding a digital pet, we could encourage better habits. But the world of 2026 is different. Attention is no longer enough; we need connection.

Year in Review 2025 🔁 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣

As 2025 draws to a close, it's a moment for reflection and gratitude here at www.seetheair.org. This year, our journey to champion better air quality, both indoors and outdoors, has reached new and exciting heights. While I published slightly fewer articles than in the previous year, the commitment of our readership remained incredibly strong. I'm thrilled to report that our total visits for the year held nearly steady, hitting an…

Why Lung Cancer Is on the Rise in Non-Smokers

Still a mystery, but here is what we have found so far. While the overall rate of lung cancer has been declining, a notable trend has emerged: lung cancer in people who have never smoked is increasing. This poses a challenge to the traditional understanding of the disease, which is heavily associated with tobacco use. Research suggests that for some, lung cancer in non-smokers is a distinct disease from that in smokers,…

Review: AirGradient Open Air

Having had the opportunity to get the AirGradient Open Air (Model O-1PST) at the ASIC 2025 conference in Thailand, complete with its unique engraving, I've spent some time with this device, and it's clear that AirGradient is pushing the boundaries of accessible and reliable outdoor air quality monitoring. This device presents a compelling alternative to existing solutions, particularly for those seeking transparency and robust performance.

Spectroscopy: The Next Step for Low-Cost Particulate Matter Sensors

The landscape of ambient air quality monitoring is evolving, driven by the increasing availability of low-cost sensors.While current low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors, which rely on light scattering, provide valuable data on particle size and number, they lack the ability to determine a particle's composition. This limitation is a significant hurdle in understanding the true nature and origin of…
