The nose or sensors are used to sniff the pollutant gases like CO, CO2, HCHO, CH4 and C3H8. However, interpretation of results is a task that requires some technical prowess.
According to the creator, the aim of this invention is to raise awareness about the enviromental issues in a more artistic way. Digioxide is a portable wireless device equipped with sensors of pollutant gases and fine particles. The measured date can also be transfered to a computer using bluetooth interface.
