Welcome to the fiftieth edition of our newsletter, as we are nominated for five awards, release major performance improvements on AirTrack and celebrate one year of working with Lía Budnik with some table tennis! This newsletter is aimed at investors, collaborators, future hires and early adopters of our products.

The UK has just brought out new targets for reduction in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the Environmental Improvement Plan. This emphasises the health risks associated with exposure to PM2.5 and a series of actions that will be taken to achieve that. This comes as another scientific study is released showing the harm caused by excess particulate matter when exercising. With our data and insights, we want everyone to feel empowered to reduce that exposure and stay healthy. Please join us on our mission - Personalising Air Quality, for everyone.

Meet the team

This edition we are meeting our new international adviser Agniprotim Sen. Agni says, "I am a Global M&A Leader with 18+ years delivering $15bn+ in cross-border transactions, restructuring and operational turnaround. Former GE and KPMG senior executive with deep energy, Industrial and Manufacturing domain expertise, leading integration, separation, and post-deal performance acceleration and transformation while building high-impact leadership teams.

In the constantly changing world with growing population and emission, we need to be more resilient and watchful and this is where Air Aware Labs comes in action. I am thrilled to be part of the team which is all set to bring a revolution in prevention of pollution-led health concerns towards a cleaner and healthier world."
