AirTrack in Africa

​Air Aware Labs launched AirTrack v2 in April 2026. This offers personalised air pollution exposure tracking and insights to protect health. The launch gained much coverage in Africa but the data availability means the app does not work well in much of the continent. Air Aware Labs would like to discuss with experts in the region how to address this.
