Bridging the Gap: AirGradient and GO AQS Announce Webinar on the Future of Indoor Air Quality Standards

As the global conversation around indoor air quality (IAQ) intensifies, the industry is moving toward a critical realization: data is only as good as our ability to understand it. Currently, the world of air quality monitoring is often fragmented, with different manufacturers and regions using varying metrics, languages, and benchmarks.

To address this challenge, we are thrilled to announce that AirGradient organized a special upcoming AirGradient Forum featuring the Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS), alongside AirGradient.

Moving Toward a Unified Language

The centerpiece of this discussion will be the practical application of the GO IAQS Score. Developed to move away from fragmented communication, the GO IAQS methodology aims to provide a unified benchmark that allows for global understanding across diverse indoor environments—from classrooms in Bangkok to offices in Dublin.

During the session, Sotirios Papathanasiou and Achim Haug will take a deep dive into the strategic decisions made during the development of these standards. They will address one of the most significant challenges in the field: how to balance complex, high-resolution sensor data with the need for a simplified, actionable output that everyday users can trust and act upon.

Webinar: Air Quality Data Analysis, Visualization and Statistical Modelling

Air quality analysis is a complex task that requires a variety of tools and methods for successful completion. One such tool is R language and the IMS software by Particles Plus. This combination of software is well suited for air quality analysis due to its comprehensive statistical capabilities, ability to integrate with existing air quality data sources, and its powerful visualization capabilities.

Size Matters: Why is important to know the Particle Size Distribution?

In a constant effort to educate the community, I highly recommend you to attend my upcoming webinar “Size Matters: Why is important to know the Particle Size Distribution“. The webinar is scheduled for the16th of November, 2022 at 8am EST.

Although it is a business oriented webinar, I will also try to educate in simple terms the attendees on what is PM2.5 and why it falls short as it doesn’t reveal in detail the make up of air pollution.
