Home Air Monitor [indoor air quality monitor]

With pollution being released in the air increasing daily, certain measures must be taken to protect our homes and ourselves. For many of us, the majority of our lives are spent indoors in locations such as school, work, and homes. In these environments, poor ventilation, mold, dust, and pollution can all play major roles in our respiratory health and well-being. At Clean Space, we feel that more proactive actions need to be taken to improve the air we come into contact with on a day-to-day basis.While there are existing methods of monitoring living space cleanliness such as using air purifiers or referring to the air quality index of a city, we at Clean Space believe that there are more proactive measures that can be taken to improve our personal indoor health. We aim to create an air quality management device that allows users to monitor the dust and pollutants in less frequented areas of their homes. Our main target is to monitor filters of air intake vents with filtration systems.  By giving alerts to the user when a filter is too dirty, we can thus create a way to stop these pollutants before it enters the ventilation system of an indoor space in a cost-effective way. Providing these alerts on a device that is often close to the user will also add to the convenience and usability of our system.
