Air Quality Dashboard
Live indoor air quality from monitors in university rooms: CO₂, particles, VOCs, radon, temperature and humidity, with trends by room and device.
The Air Quality Dashboard shows live indoor air quality from Airthings monitors placed in rooms around Anglia Ruskin University. It is a public dashboard: anyone can see what the air is like in a room right now and how it has changed over time.
What it measures
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂): a sign of how well a room is ventilated for the number of people in it.
- Fine particles (PM1 and PM2.5): small enough to reach the lungs, from traffic, smoke and cooking.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): gases from paints, cleaning products, furniture and people.
- Radon: a natural radioactive gas from the ground.
- Temperature, humidity and air pressure: for comfort and context.
How to use it
Filter by room or by device to see the latest readings. Each value is rated good, fair or poor using Airthings' guidance. Charts show each measurement over the last 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, and every chart can also be viewed as a table.
How it works
The monitors report to the Airthings cloud. The dashboard collects new readings every five minutes and stores them, so it can show trends over time and not only the latest values. Readings are kept for up to a year.
Why it matters
People spend most of their time indoors, and indoor air quality affects health, comfort and concentration. Making live data from teaching and working spaces open to everyone supports research in the built environment and helps people understand how ventilation and occupancy shape the air they breathe.
