AerNos Launches Wearable Ozone Gas Sensor with Real-Time Monitoring

AerNos is now shipping a wearable device for air pollution detection and research first showcased during CES 2018 on Good Morning America’s CES coverage.

Called AerBand Research, the wearable or clip-able device will revolutionize how scientific studies track and study human exposure to harmful air pollutants.

AerNos has leveraged advances in nanotechnology, engineering and data science to develop a low-cost nano gas sensor able to detect multiple gases simultaneously to parts-per-billion levels. This will enable scientists, for the first time, to monitor 24/7 individual exposures to toxic gases in research and enable consumers to take steps to reduce or avoid exposures and the health impacts that come with exposure.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ground-level ozone in the air we breathe can harm our health. People most at risk from breathing air containing ozone include people with asthma, children, older adults and people who are active outdoors, especially outdoor workers. In addition, people with certain genetic characteristics, and people with reduced intake of certain nutrients, such as vitamins C and E, are at greater risk from ozone exposure.

“AerBand Research is a breakthrough that will lead to better answers to the most urgent questions I’m hearing from parents every day – what pollutants are we exposed too, what matters and how do we avoid them,” said Christopher Gavigan, founder and CEO of Prima, Honest Company co-founder and AerNos advisor.

AerBand Research is designed to be worn or attached via clip for always-on air pollution monitoring. AerNos’ nano gas sensor technology enables the simultaneous detection of multiple indoor and outdoor airborne toxins to ppb levels.

“For the first time ever, the world of researchers will be able to monitor 24/7 personal exposure to ozone and correlate its impact on health and wellness,” said Sundip R. Doshi, chairman and CEO of AerNos, Inc. “Utilizing AerNos’ AerN2S Technology, our ability to design, developed and manufacture millions of tiny gas sensing elements will enable AerNos and its product partners to bring to the market meaningful gas monitoring solutions.”
