Low-Cost Sensors for Healthier Indoor Air Quality in Impacted Communities
Project by Professor Cesunica Ivey
Professor Cesunica Ivey, an expert in air quality modeling and atmospheric science, has been conducting a critical review of low-cost sensors, which can provide real-time monitoring and assessment of indoor air quality in impacted communities. This project is aimed at addressing the need for affordable and accessible air quality monitoring tools in areas where high levels of pollution are known to exist.
The research team has been reviewing various sensor technologies and studies that analyze their performance under different indoor scenarios. The goal is to identify the most effective sensors for measuring key pollutants, such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide. With a particular interest in applications in impacted communities. These findings can help inform the development of new air quality monitoring programs and initiatives that are tailored to the specific needs and resources of affected communities.
Professor Ivey’s work on this project highlights the importance of using innovative and cost-effective solutions to address complex environmental challenges. Through use of more affordable and accessible air quality monitoring tools, these sensors can help ensure that people in impacted communities are able to protect their health and well-being by reporting dangerous levels of pollution at community, household, and individual scales.
