Abstract
The quality of the air we breathe is of
pivotal importance for our health and wellbeing. Aside from the oxygen needed
for our survival and other inert natural gases, the air nowadays is made also
of toxic components coming mostly from human processes. Depending on the place
where we leave and the locatios where we spend most of our time, the air
quality can be substantially different. Man-made activities can impact
negatively what we take into our lungs and therefore our body. In order to
improve our quality of life by improving the air we breathe; we need to be
aware of the dangers around us. In this project we designed and developed a
simple instrumentation for the measuring and monitoring or air quality that can
be easily operated and transported. This instrumentation was used to measure
the presence and levels of different air pollutants in different locations,
demonstrating the considerable differences in air quality from an indoor
suburban house to a main road with heavy traffic. This study demonstrates the
importance of monitoring the quality of the air in the places we frequent the
most in order to be able to take informed decisions regarding our daily habits
and possibly influence local polices regarding infrastructure and regulations.
