Aerospec is tackling a major global environmental and health issue, which contributes to millions of premature deaths each year — aerosol pollution. The company’s patented technology is called the Aerosol InfraRed (AIR) Monitor. It offers a solution that identifies, quantifies, and analyzes particulate matter in near real-time. This instrument simplifies the process by automatically measuring the chemical composition and source of aerosol pollution and in doing so, it reduces the need for expensive and labor-intensive equipment traditionally used for such analyses.

Aerospec’s Aerosol InfraRed Monitor is designed to be cost-effective and easy to operate, which could revolutionize the way environmental agencies and policymakers tackle air quality. Because of this, the company’s commitment to driving data-informed policy could have a significant impact on public health and the environment.
