Did you know that about 17,280 of the population is breathing unhealthy air and people die from air pollution every day?
This may sound a bit exaggerated, but air pollution causes more deaths than malaria, AIDS and road accidents combined.
Air pollution kills millions of creatures every year.
The problem in Asia is even worse, with cities in India and China most affected.
Thousands of people in cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai have died/suffered from chronic diseases by breathing polluted air.
Some measures have been taken by governments to address the problem, but the results have been minimal and the problem is deteriorating.
According to some studies, Bangalore and Delhi will become unlivable by 2030, and the situation is shocking.

Updating the air quality around us on a regular basis in a timely manner helps us to make the right decisions and improve our environment.
To achieve this, kaiterra Global, a Chinese company, is doing its part.
The Internet of Things startup has developed air quality monitors to measure a wide range of air pollutants for consumer, corporate and industrial use.
These devices allow users to better understand their air quality, while sending a steady stream of pollutant data to the cloud, which is processed and then combined with the data from the official monitoring station, satellite and other sources that make outdoor air quality maps.
"Our goal is to improve the quality of outdoor air around the world, and India, where air pollution is serious, is a logical place," Liam Bates
CEOof, founder of Kaiterra Global, told e27.
Kaiterra's product, founded in 2014, visually tracks how pollution is produced, how it is moved, and is committed to identifying specific sources.
This information can be used to take action to reduce pollution sources.
The company's Laser Egg series helps users better understand the air quality at home.
The company is currently developing a range of new products to provide a complete monitoring solution.
"Laser Egg is a high-precision particulate matter (PM2. 5)detection.
What we can't see will still hurt us. Dust, PM2.
5 smoke and other particles constantly affect the air around us and in our homes.
Laser Eggs will immediately and accurately tell you what's in the air so you can make reasonable decisions to improve your environment, "he shared.
Laser for laser eggs-
Based on light scattering, the particles in the air are counted separately when they enter the device and PM2.
5 concentrations based on these measurements.
This allows for rapid measurement, with high accuracy readings calculated every 0 times. 1 seconds.
"We take our air seriously.
To make sure your home is protected, laser eggs have been carefully tested.
It can give the concentration of particles belonging to/-and the AQI reading
Ten per cent of the reading of more expensive government monitors, "Bates said.
A unique feature of the Laser Egg is that for convenience and control, you can use the Kaiterra app at home or on the move.
With a little light, you can check the air quality readings at home and locally.
The app also allows you to view historical charts by minute, hour or day and help you make a more informed decision.
"Laser Egg supports Apple's HomeKit technology, enabling it to work safely with other smart devices in your home.
If there is a surge in air pollution, no longer worry about when to turn on the air purifier, or when to turn on the humidifier if the air gets too dry.
"Laser eggs provide a connected ecosystem for protected homes and peace of mind," he explains . ".
The technology behind laser eggs is laser.
This is based on light scattering, which helps detect very small particles in the air, Bates said. PM2.
5, this is the Laser Egg can be measured with high precision, is suspended in the air particles, is 2.
5 microns, smaller.
"For reference, the diameter of a hair is 50 microns.
Measuring these particles requires perfecting the use of laser technology and coordinating with efficient algorithms to accurately inform users that they can use to make decisions about their environment.
"In India, Kaiterraworks has a wide network of dealers and distributors in India.
The core team focuses on developing and maintaining this network while passing through in-

According to Bates, despite the rapid growth of air quality in India year-on-year, awareness of air quality in India is low.
Promoting awareness-raising is one of the priorities.
"India has been a big market for Kaiterra for the last few years, so for a while we want to be able to have a local office that will provide better service to our customers there, and conduct local research.
We are confident that the new office will provide fast and efficient services to our Indian users. Excellent service
"This is also a great opportunity to help India's air quality education," he added . ".
In the field of outdoor air quality monitoring and mapping projects, it joined the research group handswith EPoD, established by Harvard University Teachers.
Bates said the company is constantly talking to people in the air quality community and government to build a bigger network and expand our reach.
Although kaiterra has B2C and B2B solutions, B2B accounts for a large part of its business.
The company mainly faces schools, hospitals, office buildings and commercial spaces.
"Our consumer products
Laser Egg 2 and Laser Egg 2-
It is very suitable for the Indian market.
In particular, Laser Egg 2 is currently the only air quality monitor in the Indian market that provides total volatile organic compounds (TVOC)
Reading is quite a problem in Indian families, "Bates said.
"Our products are sold in 14 countries, which helps build credibility on a day when so many new players enter the market.
We now also have a service and customer service team in India, which helps people to be sure that there is a team that is close to helping troubleshoot or repair.
"Also wrote: with WorkFridge's Internet of Things technology, your office will never run out of paper or staplesKaiterra, the company has so far raised two rounds of investment from a range of Asian investors in Europe and the United States seeking to expand into Vietnam, in the near future, Thailand and several other Southeast Asian markets.
"The main difference between the Indian and Chinese markets is the level of awareness.
Once people understand and realize how much air does harm to their health, they will soon begin their lifestyle using air quality monitors, masks and purifiers.
"Everyone wants to keep their family safe at the end of the day," he concluded . ".
This IoT device uses laser technology to monitor air quality, counting each individual air particle that first appears on the e27.
