Air quality influences our brain function, physical wellbeing, and long-term lifespan far more than we realize. In this episode, we examine the massive, underreported threats floating through our air and why traditional broad-scale data points miss what is happening on a block-by-block level.

Louise Thomas, CEO of Air Aware Labs, shares her journey from British civil service to building an extraordinary digital solution: a tool with air quality insights that track your pollution exposure and help you train, commute and live healthier across the world. 

  • How early in life does air pollution actually start to impact us?
  • What’s worse: air pollution, smoking, or obesity? 
  • Does it really matter what time of day you open your windows?
