So I've gathered a list of the components that I'll use for my first phase (see components). To keep it modular and easy to prototype I've opted for Gadgeteer products and I'll leave the ionizer and solar power source out for now to focus on the analysis side of things. Once that is all up and running I'll add the ionizer, solar and WiFI connectivity. With a bit of luck the ionizer won't cause issues with the electronics... My aim is for each device to be rooftop mounted and perform various air quality measurements and report back. The ionizer ties in by purifying the air, regenerating ozone (hopefully) and we measure the net difference after ionizing.

Each device will record it's location and we can then track shifts in air quality across the globe, predict air quality changes and even gather intelligence for use in early fire alert systems - using the smoke sensor.

My plan is to make it open source so anyone can adapt it. I'd also like to make it easy enough to build so that it can be used in a class room setting.

More info to come with builds and other development notes soon.
