Welcome to the thirty-fifth edition of our newsletter, as we test new features including low pollution routes, and get out and about promoting AirTrack! This newsletter is aimed at investors, collaborators, future hires and early adopters of our products. And we now have over 2000 followers on Linked In!

As we build new features and product offers, we are reminding ourselves why we are doing this. Not only does air pollution lead to 8 million deaths worldwide, but it also costs the global economy at least $3 trillion. A lot of this is in lost productivity. So we were happy to see the latest study which concluded that improvements in air quality in London have led to an 18% reduction in sick days, as well as annual health savings of £37m. To stay on top of the latest air pollution affecting you, please join us on our mission - Personalising Air Quality, for everyone.

Hot off the press

• we've been out talking about AirTrack and our company story to many audiences! A Friends of the Earth event, a central London school and an investor meeting. And coming up next week, a talk at the Mobilityways ZC3 conference. We are loving how engaged everyone is!

Meet the team

This week we are meeting, Michael Song, our new AI Scientist. Michael says: "with an MSc in Computing from Imperial College London and a strong foundation in AI and data analysis, I’m passionate about using technology to solve real-world challenges. Over the past few years, I’ve integrated machine learning models for mobile and web applications, led technical projects spanning augmented reality and computer vision, and collaborated across disciplines to turn research into impact. I’m incredibly excited to be joining Air Aware Labs as an AI Scientist!

"This role aligns deeply with my values - leveraging AI and data science to improve public health through actionable air quality insights. From building personalised pollution exposure models to quantifying health impacts, I look forward to working with a brilliant, mission-driven team at the intersection of environmental health and innovation. Grateful to Louise Thomas and William Hicks for the opportunity - can’t wait to contribute to meaningful change and help shape a more breathable future!"
