Huge congrats to Air Aware Labs (cohort 2), who have just launched their latest product, AirTrack 🎉 The team are on a mission to help people find the cleanest air they can - by personalising air quality for everyone. Read more, below 👇
Blue Skies smiling at me! I am so excited to announce the launch of AirTrack, our latest product from Air Aware Labs. Today is the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies. But sadly, most of the world does not breathe clean air. In fact, 99% of us breathe air that does not meet World Health Organisation guidelines. We are on a mission to help people find the cleanest air they can - by personalising air quality for everyone. This is vital, as dirty air causes 8 million deaths a year - that's 15 deaths a minute. Read more in the groundbreaking report from Health Effects Institute here (https://lnkd.in/e7K5zS7w), or regular updates on specific health impacts from The Lancet (eg https://lnkd.in/eedAhREk). With AirTrack everyone can reduce their exposure to harmful air pollutants. A huge shout out to the team for amazing work in building this product. And to our user testers - we've been putting them through their paces throughout the summer! Sign up by following the links in the comments below. Go with us towards clean air! #CleanAirDay
