The presentation will focus on a novel energy harvester and options for measuring and reporting air quality locally as well as measuring variables related to management of the local power systems. Extensive studies show that for people who live in U.S. residences the most serious pollutant is small airborne pollutant particles, exceeding by an order of magnitude the negative effects of familiar pollutants such as formaldehyde and ozone. When humans inhale such small particles they may develop pulmonary, cardiac, and neural problems, and millions may die prematurely. As a result, there is strong interest in, and potentially a very large market for, distributed atmospheric sensors that presently are very thinly distributed despite the known serious negative effects of many atmospheric pollutants on human health.
