You’ve probably been seeing the news about tariffs and international trade, and maybe you’re wondering: “How does all this affect my AirGradient order, especially if I’m in the US?”. First, I want to acknowledge that this creates uncertainty. It’s not ideal for you, us, or our mission to get more accurate air quality monitoring out into the world. But here’s the important part: we will manage this. We’ve tackled challenges before, and we’ll navigate this one, too, staying fo...| Articles on AirGradient

Air pollution is a significant threat to public health, impacting well-being and daily life. From everyday discomforts to serious long-term illnesses, the effects of poor air quality are far-reaching. A 2019 World Health Organization report indicated that 99% of the global population lived in areas exceeding WHO air quality guidelines, and this situation remains largely unchanged. This is the driving force behind the development of the AirGradient-UNDP Air Quality Toolkit: to provide communit...| Articles on AirGradient
Introduction In September 2024, we published an article about PM2.5 and how the EPA correction algorithm improves the accuracy of AirGradient’s monitors. We observed that our sensors, the PMS5003 from Plantower, systematically overestimate PM2.5 when concentrations are above 10 to 20 µg/m3. The algorithm from the EPA ( equation 4) does a great job of bringing down the high readings. Meanwhile, we have implemented the algorithm for our outdoor and indoor monitors, as explained here. Today...| Articles on AirGradient

“This is an article written by Aaron, a member of our community who recently got an AirGradient air quality monitor to better protect his family’s - and particularly, his new baby’s - health. Aaron also works from home and writes about how his AirGradient ONE has been able to better improve not only his health and wellbeing but also his productivity. We would like to thank Aaron for discussing his experiences with indoor air quality and would also like to extend this invite to other mem...| Articles on AirGradient
Air pollution represents a critical environmental health challenge globally, particularly in rapidly developing nations. In Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), the escalating levels of air pollution necessitate robust monitoring and mitigation strategies to safeguard public health, especially that of vulnerable populations such as children. Historically, access to real-time air quality data in Lao PDR has been severely limited.| Articles on AirGradient
All around the world air quality monitoring data is becoming unavailable as the U.S. government has stopped publicly sharing their air quality data from over 80 embassies. Without air quality monitoring data, especially in heavily polluted regions public health is negatively impacted and vulnerable population groups will be susceptible to worsening health impairments.| Articles on AirGradient
For around a year we have been in touch with another monitor manufacturer that produces its own monitors but also runs a very popular map application. It seems that they are happily using our data (completely for free from now more than 1000 monitors) but when I recently asked them to share the data from their own monitors they refused.| Articles on AirGradient
On January 17, AirGradient had the opportunity to talk with Pacha Ayllu, a grassroots community group based in Ecuador composed of parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, who are all dedicated to ensuring a healthy future for the children of Ecuador. The team – Ana Badillo, Gabriela Tobar, and Tannya Pico – reached out to propose the creation of a Family-Led Clean Air Observatory. This aims to provide real-time air quality data to the citizens of Ecuador, giving them access to the infor...| Articles on AirGradient
Let’s talk about boldness. If you’ve been following AirGradient, you know one thing for sure: we don’t shy away from speaking our minds. You’ve seen us call out issues, question industry practices, and sometimes even directly address individuals when we felt things weren’t quite right in the air quality world. But there’s always been a reason behind it.| Articles on AirGradient
Community and citizen science are foundational to my vision for AirGradient. But for quite some time now, I’ve noticed something that needs to be called out: the increasing use of ‘community air monitoring’ and ‘citizen science’ by many air sensor companies. While the words sound great, I wonder:| Articles on AirGradient
On January 28-29, we hosted a two-day workshop in Chiang Mai, Thailand, bringing together participants from UNICEF Lao PDR, the Lao Ministry of Education and Sport, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Maker Box Lao, and Lao Telecom. The workshop aimed to equip participants with essential knowledge and skills in air quality monitoring, data interpretation, and capacity building. It was organized in connection with the deployment of 160 AirGradient air quality monitors at schools...| Articles on AirGradient
Rising concerns about air quality are driving innovative solutions worldwide. One of the best examples of this can be seen in the lights that are displayed on the Namsan Seoultower. Located at the heart of Seoul with a height of over 240 meters, the tower can easily be spotted by those even in the furthest vicinities of the capital. While it may initially seem like the colours are randomly displayed, they serve a much bigger purpose. The tower’s lights serve as a visual air quality monitori...| Articles on AirGradient
When I ask you to imagine a change maker, what do you envision? Perhaps a politician, a diplomat, or someone with a high level of authority – sitting in a conference room, making important decisions and shaping policies. But why is it so hard for us to imagine young people in this role?| Articles on AirGradient
Update #1 (21 January 2025) We’ve had an overwhelming number of responses to the survey, with well over 100 replies. Therefore, we’ve decided to do two things. Firstly, we’ve decided to close the form tomorrow (Wednesday, 8 pm Bangkok time). Secondly, we will be doubling our donation to 50 monitors, as we have realised how many people are in need.| Articles on AirGradient

For the past few years, we’ve been driven by a simple goal: to put the power of accurate air quality data into the hands of as many people as possible. That’s why we’ve been so proud to offer the AirGradient dashboard completely free of charge. Many of you even received a year or two of included access when you purchased your monitor, and even after that initial period, we haven’t actually switched on any charges.| Articles on AirGradient
We’ve talked a lot about open hardware and our commitment to it here at AirGradient, and it’s not just a philosophical stance for us. It’s deeply connected to a principle that I think is becoming increasingly important: the right to repair. When you buy something, especially something designed to help you protect your health, it shouldn’t be a disposable item. And that’s exactly what many air quality monitor manufacturers seem to be pushing us towards.| Articles on AirGradient

As you might have already read, Black Friday is something we don’t participate in for several reasons. It is a holiday that embodies everything we stand against – overconsumption, impulse buying, and the harmful environmental consequences that come with it. But we recently learned that it doesn’t have to be that way. We decided to participate in the event in a way that was more aligned with our mission and values. After thoughtful consideration, we decided our intentions were best expre...| Articles on AirGradient
Wildfires are intensifying, and their impact on air quality and, consequently, our health is becoming increasingly alarming. While the dangers of long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are well-documented, emerging research reveals a particularly disturbing trend: PM2.5 from wildfires carries a significantly higher risk of dementia compared to PM2.5 from other sources. A recent study in JAMA Neurology provides compelling evidence of this disproportionate threat and emphasizes t...| Articles on AirGradient
About a year ago, when we needed to extend the team, I hired two developers from Ukraine. I was fully aware of the situation there and that it could impact the company, e.g. through infrastructure failures that could make communication harder. However, after I interviewed both of them, I was extremely impressed by their skills, strength, and professionalism. Combined with my personal desire to take a stand, it was then an easy decision to hire them.| Articles on AirGradient
Recently, Kaiterra launched a cool new product: the Sensedge Go, a wireless indoor air quality monitor that claims to run up to 8 years on one set of batteries.

In 2013, China experienced an “airpocalypse,” where the air quality drastically deteriorated, making clean air a luxury only the wealthy could afford. During that time, air purifiers on the market were priced at around $1000, a cost prohibitive to many. This raised an important question: Why did these machines cost so much? Did clean air really have to be that expensive?| Articles on AirGradient
