Pod Technology

AQIQ Pod Overview

The Y-Pods were developed by researchers in Mike Hannigan’s Laboratory at CU Â鶹ӰԺ. They are a low-costÌýtechnology that is currently being field tested and refined for air quality research use. As the Pods are being improved for research purposes, they continue to beÌýa great tool for education. Pods can be used both indoors and outdoors, and can use a wall outlet orÌýbattery for a power source. The embedded sensors areÌýmetal oxide semi-conductors, electrochemical, and non-dispersive infrared sensors.Ìý
