Environmental Data at Your Fingertips
Meersens covers a broad spectrum of environmental factors that impact health and well-being. From PM2.5 and CO2 levels in the air to pollen types like Ambrosia and Birch, the platform offers detailed insights. Noise pollution is modeled and measured to understand its effects, while water quality monitoring tracks bacteria, pesticides, and even radioactivity. UV and light exposure data help businesses gauge risks related to sun exposure. Weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed are also integrated, allowing users to factor uncontrollable elements into their decision-making. Even food safety trends, including allergens and product recalls, are tracked to protect vulnerable populations.
