They say everything is bad for something, but there are some things that are bad for us and well within our control. So why not avoid them and live a healthier life? For example, we know that sitting at our desks nonstop all day long is horrible for our health, so we stand up for a minute every hour and move around a bit. Well, here’s something you might not know: The indoor air you’re breathing right now could be up to 8 times more polluted than outside air.

The first step to doing something about it is determining whether or not you have a problem, and that’s where the Foobot Indoor Air Quality Monitor comes in.

“Indoor pollution comes from several sources,” Foobot says. “Your habits, your activities, the products you use, outdoor pollution, your pets – everything can be a source. Keeping fresh air does not mean opening windows or buying an air purifier. It means identifying the source and understanding how to fight it. That’s why Foobot was designed.”

The company continues, “Receive notifications when crossing thresholds (defined by the World Health Organization) to warn you of pollution peak, on the fly or in a near future. More than simply recognising pollution source, Foobot is able to identify events happening in your life so it can bring you the knowledge necessary to take control of your indoor air quality.”

Here are some more key details:

  • Instant air quality reading on the device
  • VOC (with CO2 equivalent impact), PM2.5, temperature, humidity
  • Actionable advices to improve your indoor air quality
  • Multi-room monitoring
  • Made for iOS (7 or later), Android (4 or later)
