Why Indoor Air Monitoring Matters More Than Ever — A Complete Guide with Aeropulse
Introduction: Invisible but Vital — The Air We Breathe Indoors
When we think about pollution, smoggy skies or traffic-filled roads usually come to mind. But did you know that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? From cooking fumes and pet dander to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furniture and paint, indoor spaces are filled with invisible contaminants that affect our health daily. As we spend approximately 90% of our time indoors, monitoring the quality of that air is more essential than ever.
That's where smart indoor air monitoring systems like those from Aeropulse come into play.
What Is an Air Monitoring Device?
An air monitoring device is a tool designed to detect and measure airborne pollutants. These devices can track a range of air quality parameters such as:
Particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10)
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
Ozone (O3)
TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds)
Temperature & Humidity
Advanced models, like the Aeropulse Indoor Air Monitoring System, offer real-time data collection, intuitive dashboards, and connectivity via Wi-Fi, LoRa, and Modbus.
What Are the Two Types of Air Monitoring?
Air monitoring can be categorized into:
Ambient Air Monitoring — Measuring outdoor air for environmental assessment.
Indoor Air Monitoring — Tracking air quality inside buildings to ensure safe and healthy living or working conditions.
While both are critical, indoor air monitoring directly impacts individuals in schools, homes, offices, and hospitals. Aeropulse focuses on delivering cutting-edge indoor air solutions to improve your everyday environment.
How Do You Monitor Air Quality Indoors?
Monitoring indoor air involves:
Installing a reliable air monitoring device.
Connecting it to a centralized platform like the Aeropulse dashboard.
Measuring real-time pollutant levels.
Setting automated alerts for thresholds.
Taking corrective actions such as increasing ventilation or purifying air.

Do Indoor Air Monitors Work?
Yes, they do—and significantly so. Indoor air monitors, especially smart ones like Aeropulse, help you:
Identify pollution sources.
Track pollutant levels over time.
Make informed decisions (e.g., when to open windows, use purifiers, or reduce chemical usage).
They’re especially useful for people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory issues.
How to Do Air Monitoring at Home?
Choose a certified, reliable device like Aeropulse.
Plug it in and connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Configure your dashboard settings.
Set alert thresholds.
Use the data to improve your home’s air quality.
Bonus: Aeropulse supports dual sensor or dual battery capsules—giving you flexibility based on your needs.
Why Monitor the Air at Home?
Indoor air quality affects:
Sleep: Poor air can disrupt rest.
Productivity: Cleaner air boosts focus.
Long-term Health: Reduces risk of asthma, COPD, and cardiovascular problems.
Mental Wellbeing: Fresh air reduces stress and enhances mood.
You can track your exposure to VOCs, carbon monoxide, and PM2.5 in real-time, giving you the power to change your environment.

Who Can Conduct Air Monitoring?
While governments and industrial organizations conduct large-scale monitoring, indoor air quality can—and should—be monitored by:
Homeowners
Tenants
Facility Managers
Healthcare Providers
Schools and Daycares
With devices like Aeropulse, anyone can become an air quality guardian.
Who Monitors Planes in the Air?
While not directly related to indoor air, it’s an interesting question! Planes are monitored by air traffic controllers and aviation authorities. Some aircraft even have air quality systems onboard to manage cabin environment. But for everyday indoor spaces, that responsibility falls on us.
Who Measures Air?
Air is measured by environmental scientists, meteorological departments, smart sensors, and—thanks to innovations—everyday people using devices like Aeropulse. Our mission is to make advanced air quality monitoring accessible to all.
