AirTrack is a mobile app that helps you understand and reduce the air pollution you’re actually exposed to throughout your day. With the new 24/7 personalised tracking feature, it combines high-resolution air quality data with your location, routes, and activities to estimate your cumulative exposure: whether you’re commuting, exercising, working, or at home. AirTrack provides personalised insights and actionable recommendations to help you make healthier choices, all without any additional hardware.

AirTrack estimates the air you actually breathe throughout your day, not just the pollution at a single location. 

It combines:

• Location / GPS data to understand where you are and the route you take
• Outdoor air quality data from the Google Air Quality API, which integrates satellite data, reference monitors, low-cost sensors, weather, and traffic
• Route and context modelling to adjust for where you travel (e.g. busy roads vs quieter streets) and how you travel (e.g. walking, cycling, driving)
• Indoor modelling to account for how outdoor pollution enters buildings, plus indoor sources like cooking or ventilation

AirTrack then calculates your personal exposure by combining:

• pollution levels
• time spent in each environment
• your activity level (e.g. resting vs exercising)

This produces a time-weighted exposure score, giving you a clearer picture of your real-world air pollution exposure. Accuracy is validated against monitoring stations and tested using standard cross-validation methods.

Read this document to understand more about how AirTrack works including how we get the data and how the AirTrack Score is calculated.

AirTrack helps you understand and reduce the air pollution you actually breathe. AirTrack:

• Gives you a personal exposure score, based on your route, activity, and time spent in different environments
• Helps you choose cleaner routes and travel options, showing that even small changes can significantly reduce exposure
• Reveals hidden exposure hotspots, like busy roads, traffic, or indoor sources

Supports healthier decisions over time, helping you build habits that reduce long-term health risks and improve performance

AirTrack collects the data needed to estimate your personal air pollution exposure, including:

• Location data (via GPS) to understand where you are and the routes you take
• Activity data (from the app or connected services like Strava or Apple Health / Google Health Connect
• Derived exposure data, calculated from air quality levels, your location, and activity

This data is used to provide personalised insights and the AirTrack Score within the app.

You are always in control - you can manage permissions and connected apps in your device or app settings.

We may use anonymised and aggregated data to improve our models and for research purposes.

Please see our Privacy Policy for full details.

AirTrack is designed with privacy and security in mind.

• We are GDPR compliant and follow recognised security practices to protect your data
• Your personal data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent
• You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting support@airawarelabs.com.

If your account is inactive for 12 months, we will contact you to confirm whether you wish to continue using AirTrack. If there is no response, your account and associated data will be deleted after a further 1 month.

When you connect AirTrack to Strava, we need to access certain fields to be able to work properly.

View data about your public profile

This permission is required to connect AirTrack to Strava. Without this, AirTrack will not be able to connect to your Strava activities. However, you can still use the AirTrack app independently

View data about your activities

This permission is required to work out where and when the activity took place, to calculate air quality information. Without this, AirTrack will not be able to calculate air quality information for your Strava activities. However, you can still use the AirTrack app independently

View data about your private activities

This permission allows AirTrack to calculate air quality information for private activities. You can deselect this option, but we can't calculate air quality information for private activities. Public activities will be processed

Upload your activities from Air Aware Labs to Strava

This permission is required for AirTrack to update the description box with air quality information. We can't update your Strava activity with air quality information without this permission

If you wish to revoke access, go to the settings page in Strava and scroll down to Air Aware Labs, and click Revoke Access. Alternatively, you can disconnect from Strava under Settings in the AirTrack app. This mean you will need to record activities within AirTrack app in order to get your air quality data.

‍

If you have signed up to Strava integration and record your routes on Strava, we deliver air quality information to the description box in your Strava feed.

You can also put other text in the description box. We take whatever is in that box and append air quality data information when the activity is processed. You can add additional text to the description box for each activity, whether to include more context, specify conditions, or note particular observations.

There are no clashes with other apps such as Bandok.

If you only want us to access public activities, please untick "View data about your private activities" when you connect your account, we only receive information about your public activities and will only annotate those ones - we can't view or access your private activities.

On the other hand, if you do want air quality data in your private activities, please tick "View data about your private activities" when you connect your account.

From April 2026, Premium users have the option of changing the level of detail in their Strava feeds.

‍

Many air quality services use a single Air Quality Index (AQI), which combines pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and ozone into one number. While AQI is useful as a general indicator, it has limitations:

• It reflects ambient air at a location, not what an individual actually breathes
• It does not account for time spent, activity level, or route choices
• It can vary between countries, making it harder to interpret consistently on a global scale

Instead, AirTrack focuses on personal exposure. For Premium users, we provide an AirTrack Score that gives a more meaningful, personalised view of your exposure - and helps you make practical decisions to reduce it.

Research shows that air pollution can reduce athletic performance. AirTrack helps you identify cleaner routes and optimise workout times to improve your performance. Check our Articles and Knowledge page for the latest scientific research. 

We do not aim to discourage outdoor activity - quite the opposite! AirTrack is designed to empower you with information, not scare you. It provides realistic recommendations to help you reduce pollution exposure without compromising on fitness and activity.

Furthermore, AirTrack can help individuals with respiratory issues or heart conditions avoid high-pollution areas and suggest cleaner routes to improve health outcomes. We are working on ways to modify sensitivity for especially vulnerable groups.

AirTrack’s Cleaner Route Optimiser helps you find routes with lower air pollution exposure. It works by:

• Comparing different route options between the same start and end points
• Estimating pollution levels along each route using our air quality models
• Accounting for time, distance, and exposure to identify cleaner alternatives

In many cases, a slightly longer route can result in meaningfully lower exposure. You can optimise your routes in the app and explore alternative options based on your journey. 

This feature is available for Premium users.

We’re continuously improving this feature and welcome feedback via the in-app 👍/👎 tool.

‍

Just send them the link https://airawarelabs.com/airtrack and ask them to sign up! And if they follow you on Strava and see the data on your feed, they can sign up directly. We’ve also added some sharing features in the AirTrack app - check them out! You can also ask your friends to scan this QR code with their phone camera!

If you are a Premium user, you can create Leaderboards to involve your friends. If you are a Free user, you can join Leaderboards.

Leaderboards let you compare your AirTrack Score with friends, clubs, or other users.

They’re designed to make reducing air pollution exposure more engaging - whether you’re tracking individually or as part of a group. You can join leaderboards for free and see how your exposure compares over time. Premium users can create leaderboards.
