Sotirios Papathanasiou

For over a decade, Sotirios Papathanasiou has been a driving force in the air quality industry. His passion lies in making clean air accessible to all, and this is reflected in his work developing air quality monitors for low- and middle-income markets.

Sotirios has collaborated with academics on research papers, delving deep into sensor evaluation and indoor/outdoor air quality assessment.

Driven by a desire to empower the public, Sotirios established seetheair.org , a blog dedicated to educating people about the importance of clean air. He has even translated this knowledge into engaging books for both children and adults.

Sotirios actively contributes his expertise as an advisory board member for esteemed organizations like the WELL Building Institute and The Safer Project Air. Recognizing the lack of widely adopted indoor air quality standards, he embarked on a groundbreaking project: Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS) goaqs.org . This open initiative aims to bridge the gap between academia and the IAQ industry, fostering collaboration to establish clear and accessible indoor air quality guidelines for everyone.
