Climate tech company Sensibo, has launched its own Indoor Air Quality monitor.
The new product smartly monitors indoor air quality in closed spaces such as offices, homes and public buildings, sharing an Air Quality Score, along with alerts and tips to lower pollution levels.
Closed spaces can be five times more polluted than the outdoors.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 93 per cent of children are breathing toxic air on a regular basis. The most common indoor pollutants come from cleaning products, building materials, paint, and scented candles.
Dust and pollen, which enter closed spaces from the outdoors, can affect indoor pollution as well. Breathing in such pollutants results in the release of CO₂, which can cause a variety of harmful health impacts, including reduced energy levels, headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, respiratory or skin irritation.
The Sensibo Elements Indoor Air Quality Monitor detects high levels of indoor pollutants, such as CO₂, TVOC, PM2.5 and Ethanol.
It tracks humidity too, as high humidity levels can result in sickness and mold growth. The Sensibo Elements will calculate an aggregated air quality score, taking into account all present pollution levels, to help users understand their overall indoor air quality.
When pollution levels rise, the Sensibo app will send alerts along with air quality protection tips.
Sensibo CEO, Ran Roth, said Covid-19 has created a new level of awareness about air quality. “We allow people to control what they can't see, yet impacts our health and life dramatically,” Roth said.
Sensibo PureBoost connects all Sensibo devices to work together as an ecosystem: when pollution is high and an alert is activated on Sensibo Elements, PureBoost will activate Sensibo Pure (HEPA filter equipped smart air purifier) high fan to fight pollution.
Combined with Sensibo's AC controllers, Sensibo Sky and Sensibo Air, the AC will also be activated to circulate air through the purifier to quickly decrease pollution.
Sensibo's products install easily, connect to all ACs and WiFi networks, and may be remote controlled via mobile app, along with full integration with Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri and Apple HomeKit.
