Air quality forecasting has become an essential part of our daily lives, as African dust in the Cypriot sky is no longer a rare or seasonal occurrence. It has become part of our reality, increasing in frequency and duration, deteriorating quality of life, and posing a threat to public health. Even if the sky looks clear, the airborne particles carried by the dust are invisible yet highly harmful pollutants, with effects that are not always immediately noticeable.

In this new reality, the need for meaningful information about air quality has become urgent—and that’s where airbeld comes in with the power of technology. This "smart" app detects air pollution in real-time. Designed to provide citizens with immediate and reliable access to critical data, airbeld measures PM2.5 and PM10 levels. The PM2.5 index is considered even more dangerous to health, as it refers to airborne particles so tiny that they penetrate deep into the respiratory system and have been linked to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, allergies, and chronic inflammation.

airbeld isn’t just another weather app. It goes a step further by giving us the information we really need to protect ourselves, our families, and those around us. It provides daily, clear, and trustworthy updates about the air quality in our area. That way, we know when to avoid unnecessary trips, when to plan outdoor activities, and when to take preventive measures for the more vulnerable members of our family.

As Konstantinos Loizou, CEO of EMBIO Diagnostics, the Cypriot deep tech company behind the innovative technology powering airbeld, points out, “During periods of increased African dust, it’s vital to know what we’re breathing. airbeld puts information in everyone’s hands, offering knowledge that leads to prevention and a better quality of life.”

The airbeld app is available on Google Play and the App Store.
