I was looking forward to review this mask as it has a unique design to adjust around the face. They call it 360º Facial fit with zero glue and zero Formaldehyde. It is supposed to protect you from the dead ends on both sides of the nose and chin, allows to better fit the facial contours as seen on the picture below.Read More »
The battle begins, I am going to dive right into the comparison. In this comparison I am only going to compare the PM2.5 sensors because a good PM2.5 sensors says a lot about the quality of the device. The participants are:
Here are all the available and not IAQ Monitors on the market. This time I included a new row with the Year each device became or will become available.
A PDF version of the table is available here: Comparison AIQ 2018 Q4
I love when companies manage to release a second generation of their original product. In this case, Awair released the new Awair 2nd Edition a few months ago.
They clearly have learned a lot and the adjustments they have done and offer with the new version are notable at least hardware-wise. Software-wise the tweaks are small in comparison with the old version but welcome. This can be a good thing because old users can enjoy similar features like the new ones.
We talk a lot about the common pollutants PM2.5 and PM10, but we have never had the chance to compare them between other pathogens and an abundant red unit which flows in our bodies and it is called red blood cell.
There are hundreds of Air Quality monitors out there but still there isn’t a single one designed and built to meet people’s needs and capture the market’s attention, each time they miss something. Companies are missing key functions for a good Air Quality monitor, hardware-wise and software-wise.
After years of experience and countless conversations with users and professionals via email/twitter/skype I know what is missing from the market.
If you are an entrepreneur or a business developer or a company that is planning to develop one more air quality monitor, remember to contact me first because I am going to bring substantial information to your company for the Next Air Quality Monitor.
I have a small but very valuable tip for you if you are an entrepreneur or an angel investor. Invest your money and you time into a new type of battery if you want to become succesful and if the environment is important to you.
On the short 3D animation below we can see what are the actual sizes for the PM2.5 and PM10 particles in comparison with a pin, a human hair and a sea salt grain. Pay attention on how tiny is the PM2.5 particle. Now, imagine these particles penetrating deep inside your lungs and the damage they can cause.
Summer is here and once more fires are burning woods and forests in the northern hemisphere from Greece to USA and unfortunately most of the times because someone irresponsible and crazy enough “thought” that he/she will benefit from it.
In this article I am going to discuss the chemical reactions that occur while wood is burnt and the gasses that release into the atmosphere.
I recently came across an article in Science focus where they discuss “How environmentally friendly are electric cars?”
They also have a chart on the article with the CO2 emission each technology Petrol, Hybrid, Electric and Hydrogen produces. I fundamentally believe that this chart can create wrong impressions to the average driver who lacks knowledge on how energy is produced and what emissions are.
