Swansea Team Invented Air Quality Monitor

The company established by Swansea University has invented an air quality monitor which checks for dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. AIR-sense-IQ monitor can help organizations to protect people's health and also reduce their energy footprint. Air quality has become one of the pressing issues after the pandemic.

The name of the company set up by Swansea University is Reef-IOT. Professor Matt Carnie led the research, and is co-founder of Reef-IoT, said, "We are proud to launch AIR-sense-IQ, a product that not only improves workplace air quality but also operates entirely on indoor light. We’ve created a device that is both highly efficient and environmentally friendly, making it easier for companies to prioritise employee well-being while reducing their energy footprint.”

Dr Silvia Villarroya Lidon, senior project manager from ATIP (Application Targeted and Integrated Photovoltaics), said,“The development of this new device and its market integration represent a significant achievement for the ATIP research program. The primary mission of ATIP is to provide the foundational science and engineering necessary to promote the adoption of next-generation photovoltaics in integrated applications that address clear technological needs.”

"Power for the monitor comes from printed solar cells which are flexible and highly efficient. Thanks to these cells, the monitor can operate even in low-light environments. They have been developed by Swedish company Epishine, which aims to capture indoor light to make electronics self-powered, making cables, disposable batteries, and unnecessary maintenance a thing of the past," reads the official statement.
