Plume Labs

Plume Labs doesn’t exist just because pollution exists. We believe complex problems can be solved not when they are made black and white, but when numbers, details and nuance are embraced. We want to create products that make data lively, engaging and useful for solution-seekers. We believe it’s our best shot at contributing to human growth that does not come at the expense of the environment or of itself. A pungent smell when walking behind a car, a horizon tinged with a brownish color, thick smoke that emerges from a chimney, or a throat that itches when we’re painting..

Observations that we can make with our senses alone can be very useful in detecting changes in air quality.

However, when it comes to quantifying air pollution, we have to get back into the world of science and technology. So what technologies are used to measure pollution levels, and help us control the quality of the air we breathe?  It all depends on what you want to do. There are many technologies for measuring air quality, most often specific to a particular pollutant. These technologies can differ in many ways, such as: their precision, their cost, or size.
