Guest: Eric Klos, CEO and Founder of Daily Breath
Description: Over 330 million people in the world suffer from asthma, and even more find themselves sneezing and wheezing when it comes to irritating allergies. Environmental information helps inform air quality warnings, but right now those warnings are often broad and not tailored to individual sensitivities. Eric Klos from Daily Breath joins the show to discuss how his environmental health intelligence platform aggregates key air quality data and information to create a personalized risk index.
