The AirBeam measures particulate matter by drawing in air and measuring the concentration and size of particles using a light scattering method.
The AirBeam measures harmful microscopic air particles (particulate matter), humidity, and temperature.
In mobile mode, the AirBeam can be worn to capture personal exposures. In fixed mode, it can be installed indoors or outdoors - it’s weather resistant and doesn’t need a shelter - to keep tabs on pollution levels in your home, office, backyard, or neighborhood 24/7.

2 Measure
The AirBeam communicates these measurements to the AirCasting App (available from the Google Play Store & Apple App Store) where your measurements are mapped and graphed in real-time on your smartphone.
3 Beam
In mobile mode, the AirBeam communicates measurements to the Android or iOS device every second via Bluetooth. In fixed mode, the AirBeam communicates measurements directly to the AirCasting website every minute via either the WiFi or cellular network. AirBeam also includes an onboard GPS, clock, and SD card so it can operate in standalone mode and log data without being connected to a smartphone, WiFi, or cellular network.
4 Visualize
AirBeam data is then aggregated and crowdsourced on the AirCasting website, allowing AirCasters to visualize areas where air pollutant concentrations are highest and lowest and share their data with their community.
5 Stay informed
Good decisions are informed decisions. Integrating the AirCasting platform into your daily routine can guide healthier day-to-day decisions and help collect quality data to support environmental campaigns or research aimed at cleaner and healthier environments.
