AirSensor| A One Health Approach

A One Health Approach

Air pollution is a major global environmental health risk, causing an estimated seven million deaths across the globe annually. Your challenge is to take an interdisciplinary approach, using both Earth science and health science, and integrate different types of datasets and applications to study the effects of air pollution.

Air sentinel

Summary

Reports air pollution levels: measures suspended particles in the airControl of humidity and temperature levels (Air environmental information)By measuring variables such as temperature, humidity and suspended particles, this sensor can be used to monitor air conditions in different environments and determine its quality.This information is widely used to make decisions that improve air quality in urban centers or environments with high levels of pollution.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Information collecting device on air pollution and environmental conditions.

By measuring variables such as temperature, humidity and suspended particles, this sensor can be used to monitor air conditions in different environments and determine its quality.

The environmental sensor allows the collection of information on air pollution and environmental conditions. The device measures airborne particles with diameters equal to or less than 1 μm, 2.5 μm and 10 μm (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10). It also incorporates a sensor capable of recording environmental conditions such as humidity and air temperature.

The device requests data every second from each respective sensor and stores it on the microSD card. The requested data is similarly transmitted via BLE or GSM. Additional sensors and other common IoT communication protocols can be added (eg WiFi, LoRa, Sigfox, NBIoT). It has a real-time update of what the air pollution is.

We want to achieve a better quality of life and raise awareness about the risks associated with health





How We Developed This Project

The constant fires caused in the wetlands near our city inspired our team to choose this challenge, modifying the air quality.

We focus to develop this project in combining technology and environmental problems

We use to develop our project software compatible with the hardware (sensors)


Problems with some disagreements, nerves, that in the end we managed to overcome

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

The data from the space agency in our project would provide another source of information regarding measurements made from space.
