Understanding your data

AirTrack helps you understand how air quality impacts your health and performance. Knowing your exposure to pollutants like PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) will help you take proactive measures to reduce risk. AirTrack uses high-resolution data that changes over time and location, so be sure to check in regularly for updates from the air map.

PM2.5

A major health risk, linked to heart disease and poor athletic performance. Even short-term exposure can affect your speed and endurance. The WHO recommends a daily limit of 15 micrograms per cubic metre.

NO2

Causes airway inflammation and worsens conditions like asthma. Long-term exposure increases the risk of lung diseases. The WHO recommends a daily limit of 25 micrograms per cubic metre.

O3

Ozone forms when sunlight reacts with traffic fumes. High levels reduce lung function and make hard efforts feel harder. The WHO recommends a peak-season limit of 60 micrograms per cubic metre.

SO2

Sulphur dioxide irritates the airways and can trigger asthma symptoms, particularly during exercise. The WHO recommends a daily limit of 40 micrograms per cubic metre.

Plans

01
What is AirTrack?

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.

01
How is this different from other air quality apps?

Most apps show a single city-wide reading from the nearest monitor. AirTrack estimates the air on the specific streets you use, adjusts for whether you are outdoors, in a vehicle, or indoors, and accounts for how long you were there and how hard you were breathing. The result is an estimate of your personal exposure and dose which we translate into an AirTrack Score, not just a map colour.

01
How does AirTrack work?

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.

01
Why should I use AirTrack?

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

01

For existing AirTrack users, Premium subscriptions can be purchased in app. Premium subscriptions can also be purchased through employee wellbeing platforms such as Heka and Healthkey. For more information on how billing works when you cancel, please see our Terms of Use.

01
Where does the data come from?

The outdoor layer is built on the Google Air Quality API, which fuses reference-grade monitors, low-cost sensors, satellite retrievals and traffic-informed atmospheric modelling. We add route geometry and city data to sharpen that estimate at street level. Indoor exposure uses an infiltration model based on established indoor air quality literature. In-vehicle exposure is estimated from your route, travel mode and vehicle cabin assumptions.

01
Do I need a Strava account to use AirTrack?

No, you can use AirTrack without a Strava account.

  • Free users can manually log activities in the app
  • Premium users get automatic background tracking, with no manual input needed

If you do use Strava, Apple Health, or Google Health ConnectFit, you can connect them in Settings to sync your activities seamlessly. You can disconnect at any time.

We also have a Strava Club if you’d like to join our growing community and compare exposure insights with others.

01
What is the AirTrack Score?

The AirTrack Score is a time-weighted exposure score, not a single pollution snapshot. It looks at where you were, how polluted the air was, how long you spent there, and - where activity data is available - how hard you were breathing. More time in polluted air, or more intense activity in that air, lowers the score. Cleaner routes, better timing and lower-infiltration indoor environments can improve it.

01
Does AirTrack use a lot of battery or data?

No, AirTrack is designed to be efficient and minimise battery and data usage.

Like most apps that use GPS and background activity tracking, there may be a moderate impact on battery life, but you can adjust location accuracy settings on your device to balance battery usage and tracking precision. If you experience any issues, contact us at support@airawarelabs.com

01
Does activity level affect my score?

Yes. Your breathing rate changes with activity. Running or cycling usually means breathing in more air per minute than walking, and far more than sitting still. That means two people in the same air can receive different doses depending on what they are doing. AirTrack accounts for this when activity data is available, which is why the same route can produce different scores for different activities.

01
Can AirTrack be used by businesses, charities or health organisations?

Yes, AirTrack is available for organisations through our enterprise solutions.

We offer:

  • AirTrack Enterprise – for companies to monitor employee exposure, support wellbeing, and develop cleaner commuting strategies
  • Ascent – for health and research organisations to analyse exposure and support health outcomes
  • AirAware API – for companies that want to integrate our air quality and exposure data directly into their own platforms

We also provide discounted access to charities for events.

01
How accurate is it?

For outdoor air, we validate our models against independent monitoring networks that are kept out of model training. In our latest Breathe London holdout test, Air Aware Labs’ model improved accuracy by up to 35% compared with the raw global baseline across 145 sensors. We report validation metrics such as R² and RMSE for transparency, and accuracy improves where richer local data is available, such as traffic, land-use and dense sensor networks.

01
What data does AirTrack collect?

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.

01
What do the Strava permissions mean and what data do you access?

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.

01
How does it work with the Strava description box?

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.

01
Why don’t you use an AQI score?

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.

01
How can AirTrack help me improve my health and fitness?

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.

01
How does AirTrack calculate my personal exposure?

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

01
How does AirTrack propose cleaner routes?

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.

01
What's the easiest way to share with friends?
