Every art studio needs this! • Pollution Protector, the no.1 solution! • Save yourself from health problems in the future! • See the particles you can never usually see! • Every art studio needs this!

Research points

BAPCR - The British Association of Paintings Conservator-Restorers

Rose Green, Broomham Lane, Whitesmith, Lewes

Main source for current methods of avoiding VOC pollution, uses lots of solvent, making it a great testing ground for the sensor.

Camberwell Campus

45 to 65 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UF

UAL Camberwell College of Arts studios our first testing ground.

Chelsea campus

16 John Islip Street, London SW1P 4JU

Our second research sample.

Tate Britain

Millbank, London SW1P 4RG

Space to distribute and advertise our work with like-minded creatives.

Plus, in collaboration with Ambient Works

Prototype development

Concept & research

Researching the negative effect of painting emissions on health and identifying the form of pollution paints and solvents cause.
