Welcome to the Globally Unified Air Quality blog! From global air quality news to company updates, we are committed to maintaining an open dialogue about air quality.
"Air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year. WHO data shows that 9 out of 10 people breathe air containing high levels of pollutants. "
Company Updates
The GUAQ team strives to make air quality monitoring as accessible as the air we breathe. We are proud to announce that we will be receiving $10,000 from the First Act Fund to support our air quality initiatives. Currently, we are in the process of developing our air quality monitoring devices and data dashboard. We believe that our customers should be in full control of their data. This is why we are working hard to build an interactive dashboard that will not only manage GUAQ devices, but also provide access to sensor measurement data, data visualizations, and analytics.
