Environmental health data belongs to everyone.
PollutionProfile was built on a simple belief: if you can see your pollution exposure clearly, you can do something about it.

Environmental pollution is one of the most significant — and most invisible — threats to public health. It affects what we breathe, what we drink, what we put on our skin, and where we live. Its impacts accumulate over a lifetime, yet most people have no way to understand their personal exposure history.
Government agencies collect mountains of environmental data — air quality readings, industrial emissions reports, water quality records, superfund site registries — but it’s scattered across dozens of databases, formatted for regulators, and inaccessible to ordinary people.
PollutionProfile changes that. We pull together these data sources to create your personal Lifetime Exposure Report — a complete, authoritative record of your exposure history. We connect this data to your specific life — where you live, where you work, where your children go to school — so you can see clearly what you’re exposed to and take meaningful action.
Michael Petroni, PhD
Founder
This is the tool we always needed but never had.
After more than a decade working in environmental health, risk communication, and remediation liability, I kept running into the same frustrating reality: the data that tells us how much pollution we’ve been exposed to throughout our lives already exists. It’s just buried in government databases that most people will never find.

What we stand for
Protection First
We believe everyone deserves to know what’s in the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the products in their home — regardless of income or zip code.
Data-Driven
Every risk score, recommendation, and insight is grounded in peer-reviewed science and real government data sources — not fear, not guesswork.
Environmental Justice
Pollution disproportionately affects low-income communities and communities of color. We build tools that give everyone the same access to environmental data.
Actionable Insights
Awareness without action is anxiety. Everything we build is designed to help people take concrete steps to reduce their exposure and improve their health.
Who uses this data
Environmental attorneys
Build exposure timelines and use government-sourced data in toxic tort and environmental litigation.
Doctors & clinicians
Receive Lifetime Exposure Reports from patients — the environmental health history they’ve never been able to get before.
Researchers & public health orgs
Access decades of EPA and other government data for research and partnership.
Where we are today
In early access, on iOS and Android.
We’re seeking partnerships with university researchers, environmental health and public health organizations, and impact investors who share our mission. If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
