A paper that I co-authored just came out in the journal, Sensors. The projects described almost all are built around Parallax Propellers or BASIC Stamps. The abstract is attached, and the full text can be found here.
Small, Smart, Fast, and Cheap: Microchip-Based Sensors to Estimate Air Pollution Exposures in Rural Households
Ajay Pillarisetti, Tracy Allen, Ilse Ruiz-Mercado, Rufus Edwards, Zohir Chowdhury, Charity Garland, L. Drew Hill, Michael Johnson, Charles D. Litton, Nicholas L. Lam, David Pennise, and Kirk R. Smith
Sensors, 2017, 17, 1879; doi:10.3390/s17081879
Abstract: Over the last 20 years, the Kirk R. Smith research group at the University of California
Berkeley—in collaboration with Electronically Monitored Ecosystems, Berkeley Air Monitoring
Group, and other academic institutions—has developed a suite of relatively inexpensive, rugged,
battery-operated, microchip-based devices to quantify parameters related to household air pollution.
These devices include two generations of particle monitors; data-logging temperature sensors to
assess time of use of household energy devices; a time-activity monitoring system using ultrasound;
and a CO2-based tracer-decay system to assess ventilation rates. Development of each system
involved numerous iterations of custom hardware, software, and data processing and visualization
routines along with both lab and field validation. The devices have been used in hundreds of studies
globally and have greatly enhanced our understanding of heterogeneous household air pollution
(HAP) concentrations and exposures and factors influencing them.
