Air Quality - The Sensing Unit

Fabio Salvadori, Federico Santarini, Marian-Emanuel Ionașcu, Sebastian Petruc

The Air Quality – Sensing Unit is a monitoring station designed to measure the atmospheric composition over Timișoara from September 26th to November 11th, 2025. Using a high sampling rate, it tracks a comprehensive suite of pollutants—including Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Ozone (O3), and Particulate Matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10).

The collected data is streamed to a connected indoor display terminal, which visualizes the real-time environmental conditions for the public. Developed for the Chemical Bonds exhibition at FABER, this project is an outcome of the Young Matters Program. It renders the invisible chemistry of the city's air into a tangible, accessible public record, fostering awareness about the immediate atmospheric environment.
