[Wolves] Air Quality Monitoring

[John Alexander]

 Good one Adam, I wonder about the real benefits of AQ monitoring in terms of what is good or what do I feel good with and a sliding scale  vice versa.Also how do measurements outside relate to inside. If I'm in a dusty building will I care if its good outside?
There are cheaper sensors about but I suppose you get two and check the assertions above... its like dong science ;-)JA

Hi Steve

I came across this a few weeks back and thought it might be interesting
to you:

I notice it mentions you can hook it up to this:

Then participate in this:

I haven't got any further looking at my own environmental monitoring,
but I was thinking of looking at this to see what sensors it used and
whether I could use the same ones with one of my ESP32s.

Did you build anything in the end? There's code and a guide to building
a particulate matter sensor here:
