Our CEO joined The Social Progress Podcast

August 3, 2026

Our CEO, Louise Thomas, joined Michael Green on Beyond GDP: The Social Progress Podcast to talk about something most people never connect to air quality: decision-making.

The conversation goes beyond health, into how fine particulate matter shows up in cognition, mood, and even voting behaviour — and why block-by-block air quality data tells a very different story than the broad regional averages most of us rely on. Louise shares her path from the British civil service to building AirTrack, and why turning air quality into something people can actually act on — where to walk, when to open a window, which side of the street to take — matters as much as measuring it in the first place.

It's a wide-ranging look at why "invisible" air pollution deserves a seat at the table in conversations about health, cities, and public policy.
