AQ Mesh
Environmental challenge(s) met
Air Quality
Country:
United Kingdom
City:
Edinburgh
Outline of project:
The AQ Mesh is a low cost system for monitoring air quality. The sensor itself - the AQ Mesh Pod - is a durable pod that can be attached to a variety of objects including lamp posts, walls and road signs. These pods are equipped with the latest sensor technology and GPRS communication, cloud-based data processing and secure online access. This technology allows local authorities to build up a network of sensors across a city and accurately monitor air quality on a very large scale.
Using a light scattering optical particle counter the pods are able to monitor air quality in a variety of applications; and have been used in various sectors across cities including transport, healthcare and industry.
