Breathe - Air Quality Monitor
Breathe is an Air quality monitor for particulate matter that allows users to check the air quality near their current location. It utilizes data from the Citizen Science project luftdaten.info. Particulate matter is known to be associated with various health problems such as coughing, shortness of breath, asthma attacks, heart attacks, and strokes. The size of the particles determines their ability to penetrate lung tissue and even the bloodstream. Car exhaust fumes, wood stoves, and agriculture are some of the sources of particulate matter. Breathe helps individuals adjust their activities, such as jogging or commuting, based on the current particulate matter load to prevent health issues. The Breathe app also features compatibility with the Apple Watch, providing convenient access to air quality information at a glance.
