Dubai - Monitor your air quality using an Arduino-Android DIY sensor
Gebäude | Informationen | Videos | Emirates | Aussicht
Tim Dye has been measuring our environment since he was a kid with his own weather station and a member of the North Jersey Weather Observers. "This was before the Internet," he points out, "so I guess it's not too surprising now that I'm 50 that I'm geeking out in my garage with instruments." His garage is filled with equipment: some of it part of his garage-based weather station kit, but much of it is related to his experiments testing affordable sensors to make it easier for anyone to test the quality of the air at home, in their neighborhood, workplace, school, etc. As air quality declines in many cities worldwide, this might become of interest to more of us. These days Dye helps the EPA test the air in America, but he recognizes that air quality can differ street by street and day by day and he thinks it's our right to know more about the air in our immediate environment. Working with AirCasting of New York City he's helped create a low-cost sensor system that uses Arduino and Android to record, map and share air quality data (carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, as well as temperature, humidity and noise levels).

Is it better with raspberry?

Very interesting. I was an air quality instrumentation specialist for 25 yrs so this is my geek turf so to speak.. this is my kit that I worked with day in day out.. Unfortunately he misunderstands what PM10 is but thats OK the general the gist is pretty good and still relevant to anyone who wants to setup for the own home.

I see you have two Dylos "large" and "small" 13:50. What models these are?
Can they measure PM in winter then there is cold (0°F is about -17.78°C) ?
Thanks for this video :) -
can you send me you mail and help me with one like yours. the one that you took to walk arround your house.
thanks -
how do you change the particles pero 0.01ft3 that you are reading and change to mg/m3?
best regards -
Hi, how is the accurracy of the cheaper arduino devices compared to the "real" and expensive ones?
In my city there are very few measuring stations, I guess it's due to the cost of the stations. Also I believe that the data is not shared via any availible API-s, even though one can ask for access.
I'd like to see some real time data though and there should be information screens in the citys when the levels are very high. Luckilly I dont have astma or anything, yet I think one should inform the residents who need to be informed, -
A brilliant video --so helpful for deciding how to monitor air quality.
Please contact me: I am impressed with the home monitoring you have set up. -
cool DIY project... but i dnt find the code for arduino.......

Wow, something useful from Kirsten. It's usually some absolute nonsense about somebody living in a cardboard shoebox and how great it is! Hahaha, so absurd. This is so much better, something that is actually usefull. More of this, less of your insane shoe box propaganda, please.

Here in Houston, I don't need monitors for proof of shitty air quality: pollen, molds, pollutants, and Oxygen Deprivation. I don't need sophisticated equipment to tell me what I already know. What I need is a better filtration system for my air conditioner, and some kind of Oxygen Generator that I don't need to be a lung-cancer patient, in order to buy one. You should go to a big city and try to convince people that your monitoring systems really matter to them.

Nerd Zone. But good to know. Thanks Kirsten.

Totally cool

better to plant a fruit tree in your garden...

Very interesting stuff in this. Thanks for posting this!
-
No chem-trails in the sky there! He also never mentioned one word about it! I would have really like to hear he has any data on such..
-
Hey, great project! I was just wondering, how can the cheapest model with all those components can cost $15? The arduino alone, without the wireless/bluetooth module should cost double that..
-
Did I not see it? Where to buy the cheap units ?
-
Where to buy one? Making one looks way too hard.

It would be interesting to measure the air particles from burning incense and cigarette smoke just to show how toxic those things are. After all you are breathing that stuff in.
