[0074]We take 20,000 breaths every day and the air we breathe impacts our health—the science is already clear on this—but we rarely know what is in the air we breathe. To take meaningful action, consumers, scientists, public officials and business owners need the ability to measure air pollution at a personal, local and granular level which has, before this invention, been impossible due to the limitations of commercially available gas sensors mentioned above.
[0075]Mounting evidence suggests that prenatal and early life exposure to common environmental toxins, such as air pollution from fossil fuels, can cause lasting damage to the developing human brain. These effects are especially pronounced in highly vulnerable fetuses, babies, and toddlers as most of the brain's structural and functional architecture is established during these early developmental periods. These disruptions to healthy brain development can cause various cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems in later inf...

[0079]The sensor technology described herein can be used in smart appliances such as connected refrigerators, that will help customers monitor food freshness, detect spoilage and the presence of harmful pesticide residues. The simultaneous, multi-gas, sensing capability of the invention will enable sensors that can recognize the gas patterns associated with the condition of specific foods.

[0080]A network or grid of the sensors 400 described herein, can be integrated into industrial areas such as petrochemical complexes and oil refineries to allow companies to monitor the sites during regular operation (e.g. for leaks) or in the event of natural or human-made disasters. The sensors can also be installed in drones for data collection in hard to reach or potentially dangerous area. The ability of the technology to be deployed in wearables and in fixed and mobile networks will provide both personal protection and granular data across large area, allow the constant monitoring of a facility for preventive measures to be taken in a timely fashion, save critical time when urgent decision making is required and provide invaluable information to protect workers and emergency personnel.
[0081]The same technology can place powerful new tools in the hands of first responders and officials responsible for public safety and homeland security.
