Dyson Air Quality Backpack
Re-working existing sensing technology used in Dyson air purifiers, Dyson’s air quality backpack is a portable air sensing device which collects air pollution data on the move. With on-board sensors, a battery pack and GPS, Dyson hopes to use this sophisticated technology to offer insight into personal exposure to air pollution and how to avoid it.
One sensor in the backpack measures temperature and humidity. The other two detect pollutants including NO2, VOCs, PM2.5 and PM10. Unique algorithms process the data, which is combined with information gathered from the on-board GPS to create reports on air quality.
