What is an Environmental Sensor?
An environmental sensor is a device used to measure environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and light intensity. It can also measure other parameters such as air quality, water quality, and soil moisture.
How do sensors work?
Environmental sensors work by collecting data from a variety of sources and then displaying it in a format that can be understood and used by people to make decisions about how to protect the environment. These sensors measure a range of factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, light intensity, and air pollution levels. This data can then be used to inform Environmental Justice efforts and create healthier, more sustainable environments.
​
How will this affect community members?
Environmental sensors will provide community members with real-time data about environmental conditions in their neighborhoods. This data can help inform decisions about safety, health, and other environmental justice issues. The sensors will also create public awareness of environmental hazards, empowering communities to take action to improve their environment.
​
What kind of data will the sensors collect?
The sensors will collect data on air quality, temperature, humidity, light intensity, and other environmental factors. This data will be used to create visualizations and reports that community members can use to take action to improve their environment. NO PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED
