The pollution control sensor was developed by one of the architectural companies in Denmark. It was created as part of a large-scale environmental project.
The device is stylized as a small bright yellow canary. It measures temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels in a room.
The choice of a canary for
sensor was not made by chance. These birds were previously imported into coal mines to alert workers to carbon monoxide and other toxic emissions. Canaries, like most representatives of the fauna, have a very developed instinct in this regard.
The device is wall-mounted. After turning it on, it is ready to go. When the level of carbon monoxide or other harmful emissions exceeds the norm, the "canary" signals this. It's a chirping and flashing light. By doing this, she encourages people in the room to open or close windows.
Air pollution is a problem facing modern humanity. Specialists from different fields offer their ideas on this issue. Devices are being developed to help control, detect and signal the presence of malicious inclusions.
As for the development of Danish architects, it is not yet clear when it will go on sale. At the moment this is only a conceptual mini-project.
