Whether you’re traveling abroad or need to measure the air pollution in your home for health reasons, the Atmotube has got you covered.
Long-term exposure to poor air quality can lead to a host of health problems such as infection, inflamed airways and reduced lung capacity, and it disproportionally affects those with compromised immune systems as well as pre-existing cardiovascular or respiratory-related problems. If you’re a person who’s vulnerable to smog and pollution you might want to measure air quality before leaving your home in the morning. And when traveling to a country with frequent air quality advisories, you may want to arm yourself with the Atmotube.
This device is small enough to fit in your hand and is able to measure air pollution to deliver real-time results. Slim and unsuspecting, the Atmotube can be clipped to your purse or backpack and taken with you wherever you go. While most users find it useful for measuring outdoor air quality, it can also be used to detect volatile organic compounds in indoor spaces. VOCs can be emitted from products such as lacquers, paint varnishes and cleaning supplies and lead to nose, throat or eye irritation, headaches and nausea.
The Atmotube collects air samples through a mesh screen and a multi-colored LED light shows the user the current air status. Using built-in sensors, this device measures temperature, moisture, carbon monoxide and VOC levels using advanced algorithms. Once the air has been tested, the results can be viewed on the accompanying phone app which delivers an overall air quality score with a breakdown of how the tested air fared. Using these results, you can determine whether it is a good idea to go out today or if you need to crack a window because of high levels of VOCs in the home.
