What’s in the Air You’re Breathing? Competition Aims to Spur the Development of Personal Air-Pollution Detectors

A new competition has been launched to find a portable personal sensor which can monitor air pollution.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) have announced the “My Air, My Health” challenge that invites researchers and tinkerers alike to develop plans for wearable gadgets that collect data about the purity (or lack thereof) of the air in and around a specific community and then gauge the impact of that air on that community’s health. The sensor system must meet the specific needs of that particular community, which means competitors are expected to get feedback from their target population as they work on their projects.
