Program the Wireless Air Quality Sensor to measure remotely, track measurements in real time, or display its data on premade dashboard. Mobile devices' GPS allow students to visualize how air quality varies across local maps. A single charge powers the sensor all day.
- 1x Multi sensing air quality probe: Temperature, Humidity, Particulates, Ozone-Nitrous Oxide, and Volatile Organic Compounds
- 1x USB C Charging Cable
Product Summary
PASCO's Wireless Air Quality Sensor measures five environmental factors that experts consider fundamental to evaluating the atmospheric health of an area. This small but powerful device allows students to monitor temperature, humidity, particulate matter (1, 2.5, and 10 PM), volatile organic compounds (VOC's), and a combination measurement of ozone and nitrous oxide levels. Record the quality of classroom or community air throughout a normal day. Additionally students can monitor painted surfaces, new carpets, markers, or air fresheners inside your building. Compare size profiles of environmental particulates from dust, pollens, smoke, and haze to better understand their ability to spread and impact environmental health based on how far the particulates penetrate our lungs. Remote logging allows students to monitor their commute to and from school to pinpoint possible sources of pollution in their own community. Students can quantitatively determine the value of greenspaces around the community and their ability to filter out these pollutants.
Due to the variety of ways countries, corporations, or agencies calculate Air Quality Indexes (AQI), PASCO's Air Quality Sensor provides values which can be used to calculate an index at NOAA's Air now AQI Calculator.
