Newbie here from Milan, Italy. Seriously thinking of purchasing a sensor. Presume the Zen version. Glad you all say that these are low-cost. Agreed compared to professional ones, but phew, it’s a lot of money for a private individual.
My question is this:
If I buy and install a PurpleAir sensor it will show up (hopefully) on the PurpleAir map. What other apps / maps / websites will it be included in?
There seem to be so many different software showing pollution data that I’m a bit lost. I would certainly be happy for the data to be used.
Am I right in thinking that it will show up on IQAir, WeatherUnderground and help power Google Maps air quality data? What else?

US EPA also syndicates the data for their [Fire & Smoke Map](https://fire.airnow.gov).

Nearly a week in…
Have found my sensor on WeatherUnderground (as I signed up to have it visible). A bit difficult to find on their website.
I have also found it on [Windy.com](http://Windy.com) - that was almost immediate.
I have signed up to [IQAir.com](http://IQAir.com) and my sensor is now visible after a couple of days.
My sensor has also appeared on AirCare.
The US Fire and Smoke Map is not relevant as I am not in the US.
Wondering what other services use PurpleAir sensors without declaring it? So many Air Quality apps / info does not specify where they get their data from.

If you haven’t yet, check out these third-party apps! Most of them include built-in maps that display PurpleAir sensors: [Q. Does PurpleAir have an app?](https://community.purpleair.com/t/q-does-purpleair-have-an-app/987)
