Don’t you think that the results are gonna be skewed due to how it’s seemingly attached to the car roof/ behind a bunch of other cars with exhaust emissions while driving?

Why would it be? You're breathing that in, after all.

Because the air that they’re measuring is from only one part of one’s environment. It’s as if I were to measure the quality of hiking trails and say it represents the overall quality of the mountain

Wouldn't you be more interested in the air quality where someone might be breathing in the air?

Not solely, but more interested?

I would also want to know the “worst” air outside my house for walking, not the “best” air on the mountain.

Good science would include both of those data sets. But with this device even if you were in the mountains the data is being skewed by the vehicle
