Problem: Is the air that we breathe safe?
We are just beginning to understand that sensors and AI can play a role in identifying airborne hazards, both indoors and outdoors.
Next-Generation, Compact, Low-Power Industrial Gas Detector
- Carbon Monoxide (CO): Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced whenever fuel is burned – including by furnaces and cars. A buildup of CO in your home can be fatal if no one is alerted. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, confusion and death at high concentrations.
-
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs enter the air from a variety of sources, including cleaning products, paints, beauty products, or mold. Exposure can lead to a condition called Sick Building Syndrome (SBS.) Increased exposure to VOCs can lead to respiratory problems, and some may be cancerous.
Personal Outdoor Air Quality & Pollutants
Outdoor air pollutants pose a potential hazard to many of us on a daily basis.
Selective embedded sensor modules can be integrated into a wide range of products. A network of those sensors can be used to produce an air quality heat map that identities pollution sources and sends alerts faster.
Low-power, embedded sensor modules can monitor personal exposure to airborne pollutants, enabling new generations of wearables.
