Air Quality Sensors
Bushman:
WU is pushing this for its maps. https://www.purpleair.com/sensors Interesting tech.
waysta:
Agree, interesting. From the WU email: Governments don't have enough ground sensors to track air pollution accurately. At Weather Underground, we want to solve this problem. We are partnering with PurpleAir to build the largest crowdsourced air quality networks. But we need people like you — citizen scientists — to buy and install the equipment.
I wonder if there will be discount prices later? Or, does this seem like a good price?
Any experiences with outdoor air quality monitors? This company?
I guess I might order a PA-II-SD, not so much for the SD card, but for the internal clock.
Jáchym:
Well... Im not that excited about this. As far as I can see it does not measure any gas concentrations only PP and for 250USD? Im also a bit suspicious about anything from WU based on previous experience.
waysta:
$250 is a good chunk of change, I need to think about it more.
They apparently have some stations online: https://www.purpleair.com/map?&zoom=8&lat=42.49241374153849&lng=-74.80816418033208&clustersize=30&orderby=L&latr=4.0867911721505905&lngr=6.976318359375
A WU post here: https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/purple-airs-250-air-pollution-monitor-gives-government-equipment-run-money
Jáchym:
This is about the same price (still overpriced IMHO), but at least has also the gas concentrations and I would trust it more than something from WU
