Air Monitors Are Getting Smarter

With ever-increasing concerns about the cleanliness of the air we breathe and the knock-on effects it can have on our health, the adoption of air monitors is becoming more and more popular. This has long been mandatory in the workplace, where employers are often required to do their utmost to ensure the air that their staff are inhaling is free from toxins or contaminants.

However, in recent years, the use of air monitors in the home has also become more and more commonplace. Ensuring that the atmosphere in which we spend the most amount of time is free from pollution is clearly a paramount concern for many, which has led to great strides in innovation in the field from competing manufacturers.

A Revolution in Air Monitoring Technology

Air monitoring has already entered something of a new era, with inconspicuous, lightweight and portable models using wireless technology, sophisticated sensors and readily-accessible apps to make air quality data available to all.

Indeed, Smart devices are becoming more and more widespread in the air monitoring sphere, with the ability to hook up your monitor to purifiers and humidifiers to achieve the perfect air quality reading in your home. Earlier this year, the startup company Bitfinder launched its Awair unit, a state-of-the-art gadget which combines several different advantages to make it a very attractive proposition on the market.

As well as providing all of the normal services that an air monitor traditional has performed (collecting and collating data on pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), fine dust particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and measuring humidity and temperature), the Awair retains the ability to give you a personalised rating score on the quality of the air in your home.

Then, based on your personal preferences, it can make suggestions on how to better achieve an optimal rating, including recommending products and applications to improve air cleanliness. If you already own humidifiers, purifiers and the suchlike, it can integrate with them (even if they are not already Smart-enabled) to provide comprehensive coverage of your air quality. What’s more, its sleek and subtle design resembles a Bluetooth speaker, meaning it can fit seamlessly into any décor or environment.

Cleaner Air for a Cleaner Tomorrow

With more and more of our interactions taking place online and our information being stored in the Cloud or digitally on a network, the sky appears to be the limit for becoming masters of our environment, reducing health risks and maximising the full potential of human longevity.

With this technology being employed in Smart air monitors, the sky might not only be the limit – it can also be as clean and as free from pollutants as possible. For those concerned about growing pollution levels around the world, such advances represent very welcome news.
