Sensing Smell — Environmental Sensors

Carbon Dioxide CO2 Sensor

In my hunt for unique sensors, I stumbled upon some interesting gas sensors that I wanted to share with all of you. So if you're interested in working on a project that can sense or "smell" a variety of environmental gases, these off-the-shelf sensors available via Futurlec may be a great starting point.

Pictured above is the Carbon Dioxide CO2 Sensor that can be used in air quality monitoring.

High-Accuracy Alcohol Sensor

High-Accuracy Alcohol Sensor can be used to detect alcohol levels with breathalyser units.

Ozone (O3) Sensor

Ozone (O3) Sensor Detects and measures Ozone (03) Concentration from 10ppb to 2ppm

Air Quality Control Sensor

Air Quality Control Sensor detects a wide range of gases, including NH3, NOx, alcohol, benzene, smoke and CO2.

All available viaFuturlec.

Comment by Alison Cromie on April 10, 2009 at 12:49pm: Ha! You could have so much fun with some of these. I wonder how sensitive they are. Specifically the Air Quality Control Sensor. Could you imagine having something that goes off only when you're in a crowded smokey bar? Although, it wouldn't work in my neck of the woods now that smoking is banned in the cities.

Oh! Even better. Have a bunch of alcohol sensors and provide a fun with your friends when you're out drinking. LOL.

Sigh, now if only I had my shop set up. I'm in the middle of moving so all ideas are put on hold for now.
