Achim's passion for clean air ignited on a personal level.

Achim's vision for AirGradient is to empower communities with affordable and accurate air quality solutions. AirGradient prioritizes open-source designs, making its hardware schematics, firmware code, and design files freely available under a Creative Commons license so that others can benefit.

This collaborative spirit is core to AirGradient's mission, which is to democratize access to air quality information, especially in disadvantaged communities facing the brunt of climate change's impact on air quality.
