At Școala Gimnazială Dumbrăvița, Timiș County, two uRADMonitor MODEL A3 stations have been running since December 2025 in the “Casa Albă” building on Creației street. One is in the entrance hall and serves as a reference for the building. The other is in the classroom of the 3rd grade, class F. Every three minutes, each […]
Introduction The goal of this project was to bring data from two different measuring devices I use into the uRADMonitor network: a GQ RadonPro for measuring radon concentration and ionizing radiation, and an AirGradient Open Air O-1PST for monitoring outdoor air quality. Both devices are connected to Home Assistant, which made it a natural bridge […]
What Is Indoor Air Pollution? Indoor air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances within indoor environments, often resulting from various sources like cooking, heating, cleaning products, and building materials. Prolonged exposure to these pollutants can lead to a range of health issues, including physical and cognitive issues, contributing to the phenomenon known as “Sick […]
Automated airquality monitoring provides more options over using handheld units occasionally. Mapping data trends becomes possible thanks to continuous surveillance and a permanent data flux. We have a higher detection capability for small variations and can trigger automated alarms if predefined thresholds are reached, improving reaction time while lowering costs. But things get even better […]
Caterpillar Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of construction machinery and mining equipment, recently anounced the S61 – a smartphone equiped with a VOC sensor (volatile organic compounds), making it the world’s first mobile phone capable of detecting toxic chemicals in the air. S61 Smartphone Air quality history data The smartphone was presented at the Mobile World […]
VOC sensors are nothing new to this project, we’ve used them intensively in the uRADMonitor hardware units. Back in 2015, the Bosch BME680 was integrated into the uRADMonitor model D, followed by the model A3 using the same excellent sensor. Now the uRADMonitor AIR, our first wearable, relies on the BME680 again for a low […]
uRADMonitor Model A3 is a fixed monitoring station designed to measure a total of 8 important parameters related to pollution and air quality, continuing the environmental monitoring direction that was introduced by the Model D. It was first announced in June 2016, initially being deployed in public transportation, marking our company’s first steps towards the […]
