The GAIA air quality monitor uses laser particle sensors to measure PM2.5 and PM10 particle pollution in real-time.
Very easy to set up, it only requires a WIFI access point and a USB power supply. Once connected, air pollution levels are reported instantaneously and in real time on our maps.
It comes fully equipped with water-proof cables, mounting tools, power supply and an optional solar panel.
