Torwash

Insight into air quality

Particulates are very small particles in the air, with a maximum size of one-sixth the thickness of a hair. These particles enter your lungs through your nose. The smaller the particle, the deeper it gets into the lungs and the more harmful it is, especially in combination with lung disease. Aerocount developed a way to measure the amount of particulate matter in the air.
