Pollution Sensor

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras along with a group of UK-based researchers have developed paper-based sensors that can detect antimicrobial resistance-triggering pollutants.

In a bid to support the government's efforts to combat air pollution, private cab aggregator Ola and Microsoft Research on Monday joined hands to measure real-time street level air quality data in Delhi-NCR. Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) data will be collected through sensors mounted on Ola's fleet of vehicles.

Scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology said they have developed an air pollution sensor which they claim costs much less than similar instruments worldwide.

A clutch of real-time sensors have been installed along the Ganges in Varanasi for monitoring water quality and the data would be soon made available to visitors as displays at the ghats, a scientist involved in the project said here.

It's an idea that UK-based artist and designer Kasia Molga has applied in her newest project, called the "Human Sensor".

Pheonix Robotix, a startup from TIIR Cell (an NIT Rourkela-based incubator) wants to build a network of over solar powered 150 pollution sensors in the Delhi NCR region, and is looking to raise Rs. 25 lakhs to get started.

"The method we have developed is not only more cost-effective, it also works better than the sensors currently used to detect this dangerous gas."

People could soon be using their smartphones to combat a deadly form of air pollution, thanks to a new low-cost method of detecting nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a significant air pollutant, says a study.

A new app launched in London that uses sensors to monitor air quality can tell users when to stay indoors to avoid dangerous pollution levels.

German scientists are developing a new sensor that attaches to a smartphone and measures particulate matter or fine dust levels in the air to draw up a pollution map.
