Millions of manmade and natural chemicals exist in the environment. While the majority of these are safe, certain chemical exposures are harmful to our health. These environmental exposures can lead to or increase the risks of a number of diseases including cancer, diabetes, respiratory infections, asthma, and cardiovascular diseases, to name a few. The issue is that these chemicals are invisible killers, and without being able to see them we do not know which chemicals are harming us and how to avoid them. Therefore our team at Yale has developed the FreshAir wristband which can be used to monitor thousands of chemical exposures!
