When combined with a \u003c\/span\u003eparticulate matter sensor\u003cspan\u003e, it's great for monitoring air quality just outside your house (more information below) and lets you contribute your data to citizen science efforts to monitor air quality via projects like \u003c\/span\u003eLuftdaten\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBME280 temperature, pressure, humidity sensor (datasheet)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLTR-559 light and proximity sensor (datasheet)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMICS6814 analog gas sensor (datasheet)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eADS1015 analog to digital converter (ADC) (datasheet)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMEMS microphone (datasheet)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e0.96\" colour LCD (160x80)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConnector for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eparticulate matter (PM) sensor (available separately)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePimoroni breakout-compatible pin header\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epHAT-format board\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully-assembled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePinout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePython library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 65x30x8.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCitizen science with Enviro + Air Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePimoroni developed Enviro + Air Quality in collaboration with the University of Sheffield, with the aim of letting you contribute real-time air quality data from your local area to open data projects like\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLuftdaten.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe alarming drop in our air quality is something that's really important to understand. Devices like Enviro + Air Quality allow fine-grained, detailed datasets that let us see shifts in air quality through time and across different areas of cities. The more devices that contribute data, the better quality the dataset becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParticulate matter (PM) is made up of tiny particles that are a mix of sizes and types, like dust, pollen, mould spores, smoke particles, organic particles and metal ions, and more. Particulates are much of what we think of as air pollution. They can be measured, in size and quantity, by particulate matter sensors like the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePMS5003\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat you can connect to Enviro + Air Quality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe analog gas sensor can be used to make\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003equalitative\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emeasurements of changes in gas concentrations, so you can tell broadly if the three groups of gases are increasing or decreasing in abundance.
