Wearable air quality trackers can help you plan your running route to avoid polluted areas.
Do you often find yourself coming home wheezing, headachy or allergic after your daily run? What about those times when you go down into the subway feeling healthy and come out on the other side feeling like you've been run over by one of the trains rather than riding it? Using a wearable air quality tracking device, you'll be able to test the air in all the environments you move through in your daily life and start taking steps to avoid the places where air pollution is most concentrated.
Several new wearable air quality trackers have been developed and put on the market over the past year with the goal of gathering information to help people inform themselves about the potential dangers of the air they breathe. One, called TZOA, is a metallic gadget about the size and shape of a guitar pick that clips easily onto clothing and connects to a smartphone app. From the app, users can view real-time evaluations of the levels of pollution in the air around them. Another device, the Air Quality Egg, looks just like the name suggests and allows users to test the levels of carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in the air around them. This data is then uploaded to the Air Quality Egg website, where each reading is placed on an interactive map for easy consultation.
This crowd-sourced air quality data may prove to be extremely helpful for people with asthma and allergies to manage their daily routines without running into pollution that can trigger their symptoms. In the future, you may be able to check on the air quality anywhere you might want to go with just a tap of your thumb on your smartphone. Until then, using a home air purifier can bring welcome relief from the polluted air of the outside world. For more information, contact US Air Purifiers today.
