Personalising air quality, for everyone

We are a London-based tech start-up tackling the global health crisis caused by air pollution.

Know your air

Our mission is simple: make clean air accessible to all

We use AI and real-time data to provide personalised air quality insights that protect your health. Whether you're commuting, exercising, or concerned about air quality, we help you make informed decisions and breathe cleaner, healthier air.

Our flagship consumer product, AirTrack, provides personalised pollution data based on your location and activity, helping you stay safe and reduce exposure.

At Air Aware Labs, we transform the way people interact with air quality data. We go beyond broad, generic information and offer real-time, hyper-local insights tailored to your location and activity. With AirTrack, you can track pollution levels, optimise your routes, adjust outdoor exercise times, and avoid high-exposure areas, all while staying active and informed.

Understanding air pollution

Pollution is responsible for 8 million deaths annually and costs the global economy $8 trillion.

It is a public health emergency that causes serious health issues such as respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and reduced athletic performance. Pollutants like PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) harm nearly every organ in your body, shortening life expectancy.

In cities like London, Delhi, and Dhaka, air quality can drop to hazardous levels, making it crucial to understand your exposure and take action.

Why we need cleaner air

We all want to know our air is clean and healthy. Yet 99% of the world population breathes “unsafe air” and most people don’t even realise it. In cities like London, Delhi, and Dhaka, air quality can drop to toxic levels, making it crucial to understand your exposure and take action. By reducing air pollution, we can help millions live longer, healthier lives—while tackling climate change, creating fairer communities, and boosting our economies.

Why is it important?

Invisible particles in polluted air penetrate deep into our lungs, heart, blood, and brain. It causes respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and reduced athletic performance, and it shortens life expectancy.

Major pollutants

Particulate Matter (PM2.5): Tiny particles created by vehicles burning fuel and braking that worsen heart and lung disease, and can trigger heart attacks and strokes.

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): A toxic gas created when we burn fossil fuels in engines that causes shortness of breath, inflames the lungs, and weakens immunity—especially harmful for people with asthma

1.9 million deaths

from heart disease and nearly 1 million from strokes every year are caused by outdoor air pollution (World Heart Federation, 2024)

$8 trillion

a year is what air pollution costs to the global economy (ShareAction, 2025)

3 million

work days lost to illness could be recovered if air pollution is reduced to World Health Organization guidelines (Healthy Air Coalition, 2025)

8.1 million deaths

globally in 2021 due to air pollution and 15% of all global deaths in children under five (State of Global Air 2024)

8% of adults

have asthma in the UK, that is an equivalent to approximately 7.2 million people (Asthma + Lung UK)

87% of schools

are in areas with toxic air in the UK (Health Equals, 2025)

Our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals

Target 3.4

By 2030, reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being.

Relevant indicator

Mortality rate attributed to cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or chronic respiratory disease.

Target 3.9

By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.

Relevant indicator

Mortality rate attributed to household and ambient air pollution.

Target 11.6

By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination

Relevant indicator

Annual mean levels of fine particulate matter (e.g. PM2.5 and PM10) in cities (population weighted).
