Current air-quality monitoring technologies solely take measurements at a few static points over an area and don’t assess the valuable fluctuations affected by architecture, ventilation, and the natural landscape; meaning the general AQI displayed on a phone isn’t the air quality an individual’s exposed to at all times. We are the Koalas and together we have created Particulate Patrol: a small-scale wearable to detect air quality and generate a holistic data model that charts AQI over time and space. This collected data is visualized in our Android app and pushed to a citizen-scientist database to help define the effects of climate change and seek out solutions.
