About this app

AirCasting is an open-source environmental data visualization platform that consists of an Android app and online mapping system. The application collects measurements from HabitatMap’s AirBeam and other health and environmental monitoring devices and relays it to the maps. With thousands of AirBeams measuring particulate matter worldwide and over a billion data points, the AirCasting platform is one of the largest open-source databases of community-collected air quality measurements ever created. By documenting and leveraging health and environmental data to inform personal decision-making and public policy, the AirCasting platform empowers community-based organizations, educators, academics, regulators, city managers, and citizen scientists to map air pollution and organize for clean air.

AirBeam is a low-cost, palm-sized air quality instrument that measures hyperlocal concentrations of harmful microscopic particles in the air, known as particulate matter, as well as humidity and temperature. The AirBeam measures particulate matter with proven accuracy and when used in conjunction with the AirCasting platform - or a custom solution - helps community-based organizations, educators, academics, regulators, city managers, and citizen scientists map air pollution and organize for clean air.

The AirBeam measures harmful microscopic air particles (particulate matter), humidity, and temperature. In mobile mode, the AirBeam can be worn to capture personal exposures. In fixed mode, it can be installed indoors or outdoors - it’s weather resistant and doesn’t need a shelter - to keep tabs on pollution levels in your home, office, backyard, or neighborhood 24/7.

Ratings and reviews

You can see values if you're watching them in real time, but if you want to go look back at previous sessions you've recorded, the graph doesn't work. Also, it can't seem to find 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi so you can only use it over Bluetooth if you don't use cellular.

It's a great device but lately when i start any session(fixed or mobile) it doesnt record any data and it immidietly goes to the standalone mode..the fan of the device works so i dont think there is any problem with the device...can anyone guide me on how i can fix this?

when it works ..most of the time...its really fantastic....great ability to customize scale...nice feature to export, share, and send a link to your project....july 2021
