AAAR 2021

The 2021 American Association of Aerosol Research conference is currently taking place in Internet-land. If you're attending and interested in learning about how QuantAQ's low-cost, professional-grade air quality sensors can be used to understand building ventilation, sources of urban air pollution, or be used to help

Empirically validating the air change rate (ACH) via the direct measurement of aerosols

While aerosol awareness has grown substantially in 2020-2021 (thanks to COVID-19), the direct relationship between ventilation rates and indoor aerosol concentrations remains somewhat less clear.  Here, we connect the dots between building ventilation and aerosols and demonstrate how low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors can be used to empirically validate the

Microenvironment #1 - Cooking chili on a gas-stove

Welcome to the first post in our #guessthatmicroenvironment series! The goal of this series is to improve our collective understanding of how our daily actions and interactions influence the air that we breathe. The first clue went up April 10th: #guessthatmicroenvironment is back! We'll aim to post new

Hello, Air Quality World!

Welcome to the QuantAQ blog! We founded QuantAQ in 2019 as a spinout of MIT and Aerodyne Research, Inc. We realized that the most efficient path to obtaining ubiquitous air quality monitoring was to move our research outside academia and build a team to combine modern computational data science with
