Metrics details
Air pollutant observations are needed to warn of hazardous air conditions and to ensure that businesses are adhering to air quality regulations. However, the state-of-the-art air quality monitors used for these measurements can be expensive to install and maintain. State and federal governments must balance a variety of interests when choosing locations for the few monitors they deploy. Therefore, monitors are not always located in the areas where citizens most need the data, creating a need for more accessible air monitoring technology. Relatively cheap and reliable air sensors paired with Raspberry Pi technology can increase the amount of air quality data collected.
