Do you know of any Air Quality stations in your area?
why not participate to the map with your own air quality station?

Our GAIA air quality monitors are very easy to set up: You only need a WIFI access point and a USB compatible power supply.

Once connected, your real time air pollution levels are instantaneously available on the maps and through the API.

The station comes with a 10-meter water-proof power cable, a USB power supply, mounting equipment and an optional solar panel.
