15 minutes and then giving you an air quality index, or aqi score. it s using a us scale. basically, the higher the number, the worse the air quality, and it goes all the way from good to hazardous. here are the results from my first seven days. and you can see that the air quality fluctuated a lot, but the baseline was typically in the moderate zone with a few spikes all the way up to hazardous, which i guess is not great. so i started logging everything i did in my bedroom, so hopefully i could explain some of those spikes in the air quality reading. and then it was time to start the experiment. for my first high tech intervention, i just opened the window for 2a hours to see whether luften really would make a big difference. and here are the air quality results. now what s cool about this is that all the dust spikes match up exactly with the log i was keeping. so you can see the air quality improved overnight. the dust levels went down. you can see exactly when i woke up and got out
compressions, freeing up the emergency team to carry out other vital procedures on heart attack patients. truly a case where robots can help fix a broken heart. i can t be the only one thinking that home is dustier than usual, maybe because we ve been spending more time at home during the pandemic. so i thought i d try out some air purifiers to see if they would help. now, before i get any comments about living in squalor, let me tell you, my mum is german and i was raised on the ideology of luften, which is to open your windows and ventilate every morning without fail. i obviously also vacuum regularly, but even so, i felt like there s more dust, maybe because i m at home more, so i m creating more dust or i m at home more and i m noticing more dust. either way, i wanted to fix it. i started off by putting an air quality meter in my bedroom that can detect dust and other fine particles in the air. basically, what that little box is doing is measuring how much dust there is in the air
