Diwali night, indoors: 17 hours of PM2.5 in a sealed home
A first-generation SentioAir prototype recorded PM2.5 every 15 seconds in a closed room through Lakshmi Puja night. With windows shut, firecracker smoke halved only every 3.1 to 3.5 hours, then stalled at 81 µg/m³ until a window was opened at 9:45 AM.
Measuring the air people actually breathe.
Open, careful, reproducible research on indoor air, low-cost sensing and air intelligence, from an Indian deep-tech lab in Pune.

Publications
White papers, technical notes and datasets. Every paper ships with its method, its limits and its data.
Research areas
Four questions we work on, from the sensor to the room to the city.
Indoor exposure
What people breathe at home, at school and at work, minute by minute.
Sensing and calibration
Making low-cost sensors trustworthy through correction, validation and open methods.
Air intelligence
Models that detect events, forecast exposure and explain what changed.
Living air systems
Biological approaches to cleaning and regenerating indoor air.

Our standard
Research is only useful if people can check it. These four rules apply to everything we publish.
Measure first
Claims follow data, at the resolution the question needs.
Publish the method
Every result ships with how it was produced and how to reproduce it.
State the limits
Uncertainty and limitations are reported as plainly as findings.
Validate
Low-cost measurements are checked against reference instruments.
