If air pollution is one of the greatest environmental threats of our time according to the WHO, why are we using the same air quality monitoring techniques as we did in the 60s and 70s?

Breeze Technologies also provides an opportunity for citizens, companies and municipalities to become sensor hosts and gather local air quality data in order to understand the sources of their air pollution and how to mitigate them.
