Sniffer Bikes monitor air pollution levels on the go
QUOTE:
The Sniffer Bike is a pedal-powered laboratory – a mobile particulate matter sensor that aims to raise awareness about air pollution. Developed as an open-source project, the Sniffer Bike comprises a small box of handlebar-mounted electronics that measures the air every ten seconds and presents the data on an interactive dashboard, which can then be shared to build a picture of local air pollution. To kickstart the project, 10 cyclists have been given a Sniffer Bike to gather first-hand data around Utrecht. Over the course of two weeks, the Sniffer Bikes have covered over 3,800 km and collected a large amount of data. Further information about the project including plans for how to build your own Sniffer Bike can be viewed at sodaq.com Here in Britain, air pollution has the potential to damage our health from before we are born, dog us throughout our lives, and for over 40,000 of us every year, kill us. Our poisoned air affects all of us, no matter our age and recent studies highlights the damage extending far beyond the lungs. Research has revealed that air pollution causes a significant reduction in intelligence – equivalent to missing an entire year of education. It now appears that air pollution may be damage our health before we are even born. CONTINUES. https://www.eta.co.uk/2020/02/05/sni...els-on-the-go/ |
