10+ Best Air Quality Monitors – What You Need to Know - Published Aug 5, 2024

After reading many reviews on air quality monitors, I’ve become quite frustrated with the lack of what I would consider ‘quality’ reviews. While there are ample reviews of air quality monitors – especially those such as the AirVisual Pro or Airthings View Plus – very few seem to focus on the most critical aspects of these devices, such as accuracy.

Since I have extensive experience with air quality monitors after running this website for over four years, I decided it was time to write an article discussing my picks for the best. In this article, I will cover the best choices for each situation, no matter your budget or whether you want an indoor, outdoor, or portable air quality monitor.

Before we start, I want to clarify that I’ve only included devices on this list with which I have personal experience. I feel that it’s disingenuous to include any monitor that I haven’t personally used. For this reason, there are some notable exceptions from this list. Of course, I’ve purposefully excluded some monitors because I don’t believe they deserve a place. However, some air quality monitors were excluded simply because I haven’t tried them yet.

Notably, I have yet to try any monitors from Awair, Temtop, and a couple of other major brands. While they may well deserve a place on this list, I do not feel comfortable including them without personal experience. If you are interested in monitors from these brands I haven’t tried yet, I share some thoughts on my forum.

La contaminación del aire en San Ignacio Cerro Gordo, Jalisco, puede variar a lo largo del tiempo y depende de diversos factores, como la industria local, el tráfico y las condiciones climáticas. Para obtener información actualizada sobre la calidad del aire en esa área, te recomendaría consultar fuentes locales o sitios web gubernamentales que proporcionen datos sobre la calidad del aire y los niveles de contaminantes en la región. Además, es importante seguir las pautas de salud pública y tomar medidas para proteger tu salud en caso de que la calidad del aire sea deficiente.

Lamentablemente, mi capacidad de proporcionar información específica sobre la contaminación del aire en lugares precisos y en tiempo real está limitada debido a que mi conocimiento se encuentra actualizado solo hasta septiembre de 2021. Para obtener información precisa y actualizada sobre la contaminación del aire en San Ignacio Cerro Gordo, Jalisco, te recomendaría realizar las siguientes acciones:

1. Consulta el sitio web del gobierno local: Muchas autoridades gubernamentales y agencias medioambientales proporcionan información sobre la calidad del aire, niveles de contaminantes y advertencias en sus sitios web.

2. Utiliza aplicaciones móviles: Existen aplicaciones para dispositivos móviles que ofrecen datos en tiempo real sobre la calidad del aire en diferentes áreas. Algunas aplicaciones populares incluyen AirVisual, IQAir, y AirNow.

3. Ponte en contacto con agencias medioambientales locales: Las agencias de protección ambiental a nivel estatal o municipal a menudo pueden proporcionar información actualizada sobre la calidad del aire en tu área.

Recuerda que la contaminación del aire puede variar según la temporada y las condiciones climáticas, por lo que es importante mantenerse informado y tomar medidas para proteger tu salud si la calidad del aire es deficiente.

AirVisual and AirNow tend to be more accurate, with My AQI Air coming in just after that. Firesource is useful for knowing where incidents are and the smoke plume map overlay. AirCare is less accurate but is usually somewhere in the general ballpark.

AirVisual has an option to display the local AQI as a badge number on the app so you can see it without even opening it. AirNow gets info directly from the EPA and the details in the alert info is insightful and occasionally hilarious.

the reason there are no actual phone alerts for the air quality in Canada and parts of the US right now is because the government doesn't want to freak people out. This is what I've taken to calling New Normal Syndrome — when people don't want to acknowledge that the worst air quality on record, or an ongoing global pandemic is cause for alarm and appropriate protective measures.

New Normal Syndrome has also affected the folks pretending it's "Normal" (or not a form of child abuse??) to take their kids out in a level 11 air quality warning without any respiratory protection before kids can comprehend the damage that will do to their lungs.

People with New Normal Syndrome can wear blinders as much as they want, they can cling to "Normal" with their fingertips, but it's not going to make it true. We're living in a global pandemic, in a climate crisis, and this is not sustainable.

We don't need to adjust to "the New Normal," we need to take appropriate steps to fix it and mitigate the damage that it's causing, at least within our own families and communities to start.

2022 Year-End Reflection: Why Start Bicara Udara & Why More Parents Should Join the Conversation on the Issue

Hello, my name is Amalia. People used to know me as a political activist who fought for independent candidates in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. Today, I am a mom with two sons aged 3 & 5. In November 2019, when my second child was born, I realized that my two children would grow up in the most polluted area in Indonesia. In mid-July 2019, when I was in my second trimester of pregnancy, Jakarta was named the city with the worst air pollution in the world based on the AirVisual air quality monitoring app. The air quality value (AQI) had even touched a score of 240 which is included in the red color category, aka very unhealthy. At this stage, people should be encouraged to reduce outdoor activities or use masks when traveling. Such news every year never bothered me until I realized that the air my children freely breathe every day is not safe. From then on I was determined to learn and find out about air pollution issues. Yes, my parenthood instinct made me more aware of the risks.

Yes, my parenthood instinct made me more aware of the risks.

When I was a kid, I lived in a village in Jogja close to rice fields. Playing outside and breathing in the fresh air seemed to be the norm. Twenty years later, I didn't think that such memories would be a luxury for my children who live in the city. It feels like the right to clean air is still considered unfamiliar compared to other basic human rights. Clean air is very important for humans. Humans cannot live without air. If we hold our breath for 2 minutes, we will immediately feel dizzy. If we hold our breath for 5 minutes, we will faint and it is dangerous for our vital organs such as the liver, kidneys, and brain. Even Dr. Agus from the Indonesian Lung Doctors Association (PDPI) emphasized that the human lungs actually only work for clean air. If left untouched, this air pollution problem will threaten the lives and development of our children.

Less than a year after my second child was born, the Covid-19 pandemic locked us all into staying at home. I didn't even send my first child to playgroup because there was no face-to-face learning. This condition is not easy for all parents. And again the problem is the virus in the air we breathe. These problems in the air make me want to do something. Because air pollution and covid-19 are not problems that I can solve alone and I believe protection against both needs to be voiced and fought for.

I read many journals and articles about air pollution that I found online and asked many friends who I considered to have expertise on air pollution issues in Indonesia. The more I read, the more difficult it was to understand the problem on my own because it is not only about science, health, and environment, but also about economics, public policy, and politics. To complicate matters further, the effects of air pollution are slow and often invisible. It's no wonder it's not a priority issue because many people don't know the dangers that lie ahead. Luckily, I met other mothers who were furious about this problem and did not want to remain silent. We then established Bicara Udara, a community of learning citizens and became active citizens to encourage and oversee the improvement of air quality in Jabodetabek.

The more I read, the more difficult it was to understand the problem on my own because it is not only about science, health, and environment, but also about economics, public policy, and politics.

Almost 3 years old, the air pollution problem in Jabodetabek is still like a puzzle that we have not finished solving. We still see the air pollution problem in our days. Although we have met our path with NGOs, think tanks, academics, and the government pushing for improvements, we still need more parents to find out about this problem and do something about it. As Mother's Day approaches, I wanted to write down my concerns and share them so that I can meet more parents who want to participate in the Bicara Udara community.

These past few months I have had the opportunity to continue my studies at the University of Glasgow, the clean air that I feel every day here should also be felt by residents in Jabodetabek. As much love as we pour into our children, as much pain as we endure for them, it is only natural that we should leave a good quality of life for them.

Vì sao không khí ở Hà Nội tốt đột biến?

Vì sao không khí ở Hà Nội tốt đột biến?

Cụ thể, ở trang quan trắc AirVisual, chỉ số ô nhiễm không khí (AQI) trung bình của Hà Nội là 50, vừa đủ để đạt mức tốt trên thang đo của Tổng cục Môi trường, Bộ Tài nguyên Môi trường.

AirVisual cũng ghi nhận những kết quả rất tích cực từ các điểm như Tây Hồ 47, Cầu Giấy 43, khu vực Trường Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội ở Hòa Lạc 30, Đại sứ quán Mỹ 59.

Tương tự, trên trang quan trắc Pam Air, chỉ số AQI…

AirVisual đã chính thức bị chặn VN trên các store

từ nay người Hà Nội nói riêng và Việt Nam nói chung khỏi phải lo sợ về vấn đề ô nhiểm từ bụi nano bụi mịn gì đấy nữa

vì ko có app ta sẽ ko biết mức độ nguy hiểm =)) nên sẽ bớt lo hơn :))

Reminder to check that your weather apps are consistent. Test some out until you can find one that's good.

Two apps including WeatherNetwork and WeatherCAN state that air quality it at very low risk this morning (level 1), but my other two apps (AirVisual and I forget the other one) are both stating that it's moderate (around 4-5).

Test your applications, never trust blindly.
