Meet air quality monitor Altruist Urban

Years of environmental monitoring experience shaped a device built to help you understand the real conditions around your home — not generalized city averages.

Your location - your unique air

Most public environmental maps rely on a limited number of monitoring stations — often placed near major roads or in completely different parts of the city. Even community-driven maps can reflect conditions far away from your neighborhood.

Air quality, noise, temperature, and humidity can change dramatically from one street to another. Wind direction, nearby traffic, construction activity, elevation, trees, building density, floor height, and even the orientation of your windows all shape the environment around your home.

Altruist Urban measures the environment where you actually live.

Explore our open-source environmental map — or build your own

Explore real sensor data from communities around the world. See AQI, historical data, color-coded charts, outdoor noise, and detailed environmental analytics — all on an open-source map.

Have your own sensor already? Add it to the map — no subscription, cloud service, or account required. Or simply use the map to explore your environment. Want a map for your own community? Fork our open-source project and build your own.
