In an age of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, there are a plethora of air monitoring devices and platforms that make the invisible visible in our homes, offices, and schools.
Alerts, whizzy dashboards, and an avalanche of data about particulate matter (PM 1 and 2) Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), temperature, humidity, and even radon gas, set my head spinning.
