AirHive: THz Air Quality Monitor

AirHive is a particulate matter scanner that instantly detect and identifies sources of air pollution. Powered by affordable THz scanning and ATTRACT's H-CUBE sensor, AirHive instantly characterizes pollutants via ambient detection and saliva scanning. It offers comprehensive data on composition, concentration, and source identification, enabling those most impacted by air quality to instantly monitor, diagnose, and quantify unseen toxins while owning their own health data: blowing the whistle on invisible pollution.

OVERVIEW

This project represents the outcome of a design research project by Lempres with Charlotte Böhning and Ridima Jain in collaboration with the grassroots non-profit El Puente’s “Nuestro Aire” citizen air monitoring program during CERN’s Challenge-Based Innovation course, which aims to connect CERN’s deep tech with societal needs targeted by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
