Knowing what's in the air.

I want to know what I'm breathing every day and how it affects my health.

Health and sports play an important role in my life. Out of personal interest and due to a lack of available solutions, I developed an idea in 2015 that would make it possible to measure air parameters simply and accurately. When building the first version of the air-⁠Q, my more than 10 years of experience in basic research and the development of new sensor technologies at Chemnitz University of Technology were a great help. However, the current air-⁠Q bears almost no resemblance to the original. Today, the device is significantly smaller and can do much more.

Everyone should know what their own air quality is like so they can decide for themselves.

Air is our most important source of sustenance—we breathe it 24 hours a day, throughout our entire lives. Each of us lives in completely unique conditions, wherever we live and breathe. That’s why we want to give everyone the opportunity to determine for themselves the composition and quality of the air. Plus, it’s also a lot of fun to track the data and investigate what’s causing it. With air-⁠Q, everyone has their own little lab.
