INHALE works this way
INHALE Sensor measures PM 2.5, Ozone, CO2, humidity, and the temperature of your environment. Then it sends air quality data directly to the INHALE App. The INHALE App presents real-time air quality data + pollen predictions [*All the data is validated by the government], city-wide mapping, and a daily review. Therefore, it reads air quality wherever you and your phone are.

INHALE App is in beta testing and will be released soon!
1. Visualize Air Quality
Real-time data:
INHALE app, present real-time air quality data within a 1 mile (1.6 km) radius. Functional without the sensor, though lower accuracy
INHALE app in combination with sensor present hyperlocal, real-time air quality data.
Predictions:
The app cal also predict the outdoor air quality up to 48 hours ahead. For Europe it also include pollen predictions.
INHALE takes data from your environment in and turns it into actionable recommendations. Such as when to go outside, which route to take, or when to open your windows for ventilation.
2. Investigate Your Daily Exposure
Open up the INHALE app at the end of the day to see your daily exposure levels. The app calculates the exposure level by using the average air quality in areas you have been in and how much time you spent there. This information allows you to investigate what happened throughout the day, and helps future behavioral change.
3. Crowdsourced Maps
INHALE empowers you to become a citizen scientist. You will play an important role in building air quality maps of entire cities and countries, all the way down to your local neighborhood. With family, friends and fellow INHALE users, we can all come together and build something that makes a difference.
You can use these maps to plan your route to work, avoid areas with reported allergens, decide where to have a picnic with your family, as well as using the data to promote social change and influence decision makers for better air quality.
INHALE goes everywhere.
