POSTER: Affordable Automatic Air Quality Monitoring System for At-risk Homes.

This research aims to improve indoor environmental justice (EJ) outcomes for elderly individuals residing in historically under-resourced communities of color in Knoxville, TN. To achieve this goal, we have created an autonomous air quality monitoring system that continuously tracks the temperature and CO2 concentrations inside the building. The user interface will display alert messages to remind users to take the essential precautions to ensure their health and safety in the event of hazardous conditions. In addition, the system includes a notification mechanism that alerts loved ones and neighbors to step in when a risk cannot be properly mitigated by a single person. In Knoxville's historically under-resourced communities of color, we successfully implemented and tested our autonomous air quality monitoring system.
