Today's world makes it difficult for us to breathe pure, clean air. Strangely, we are now on a quest to look for a planet similar to earth despite the fact that ours is said to be the only planet where living things can live. Because of the numerous human activities carried out in the name of development since the industrial revolution of the 19th century, the earth has lost its freshness and purity of air. Over time, it started to have an adverse effect on all living creatures, resulting in countless negative health effects and numerous fatalities. And today, as global citizens, breathing clean air has nearly become our most important right, and the struggle continues.

Air pollution is the impurity in the air caused by a concoction of dust particles and liquid pollutants, together known as aerosols, that has a negative impact on the health of living things and, more crucially, on the climate. Both natural and man-made factors cause an increase in air pollution. To mention a few, these include the dangerous gases and smoke released by cars, factories, dust, volcanic ash, pollen grit, and wildfire dust particles.

The Huma-i is a portable device that reads air quality. But this is one of those items that seems more like it would cause problems rather than solve them. The reading comes back to you as an emoji-type face that tells you if the air is good or if you need a mask to breathe. Is it nice to know what you're breathing? Definitely. But without anything to improve the air quality around you -- why would you want to know how bad it is? It's not as though you can stop yourself from needing to go outside, or inside, or breathe. But if you're anything like most people, it will stress you out a bit to know that you have to go outside (or inside) and breathe bad air. So, unless they plan on shipping these with a respirator mask, the point of the device seems rather moot. Could it help with research? Most certainly. But as a consumer device for everyday use, it appears to fall short of being too much more than a fancy panic button. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments. Curious about the product?
