Yep, now we can also predict the future. Sure, it is no witchcraft, but still it is quite amazing. Instead of a wand, we use high qualitative measurements and our newest models to forecast the air quality for your city or region. Knowing the outside air quality for the coming hours or even days, opens a lot of opportunities and enforces us to take better decisions & appropriate actions in order to breathe better air.

So what air quality data can you get out the aircheckr API and widget?

For the city level (cities/municipalities, provinces, etc.), you can have now hourly, daily and yearly air quality data.

Hourly: real-time, but also 24 hours back and the forecast for the coming 24 hours

Daily: yesterday, today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow

Yearly: statistics for a complete year

For the street level detail, nothing changes. We still have real-time hourly AQ data and yearly statistics.

Air quality forecasting allows us to take better decisions & appropriate actions in order to breathe better air

We are working hard to extend the aircheckr portfolio. You can have an overview of our current portfolio here.

Air pollution causes 467.000 deaths in Europe each year. Once a silent and underestimated killer, it is now recognized as the single biggest environmental health risk. But there is hope. Scientific research has shown that reducing your exposure to air pollution is effectively helping. But how to do that? aircheckr provides detailed outside air quality information and tools needed to effectively reduce your exposure. It empowers people to actively or passively make better decisions and take actions in order to breathe better air. People are no longer defenceless. Improving the air at home/office or car, or reducing your exposure during biking or exercising is now possible. Together with its partners, aircheckr is working hard to integrate air quality information into a wide range of services, applications or devices.
