I Built an Open Protocol Standard for Air Quality Data — And Anyone Can Run a Node in 3 Minutes

The problem nobody talks about Air pollution kills 7 million people every year. That number is not disputed. The WHO publishes it. Governments cite it. Researchers build careers studying it. And yet the data infrastructure to actually fight it does not exist. Every sensor manufacturer uses a proprietary format. Every government agency stores data differently. Every research institution uses incompatible databases. A sensor in Accra cannot speak to a hospital in Nairobi. A researcher in London cannot access ground-truth data from Lagos. A government in West Africa cannot build coherent policy from fragmented, incompatible data sources. The sensors exist. The data exists. But nothing connects it. This is the same problem the internet had before HTTP. The same problem medical imaging had before DICOM. The same problem document sharing had before PDF. Every one of those problems was solved by an open standard. BXP is the open standard for atmospheric exposure data. What BXP is BXP — the Br
