1. A system comprising:
- a portable air sensing device configured to sense a concentration of a component gas in surrounding air and wirelessly transmit the sensed concentration; and
an electronic interface device positioned within a cockpit of an aircraft and communicatively coupled with the portable air sensing device, the electronic interface device configured to;
receive the wirelessly transmitted concentration from the portable air sensing device;
generate, for display, an indication of the received concentration in relation to a defined threshold maximum concentration of the component gas; and
generate an alert in response to determining that the received concentration exceeds the defined threshold maximum concentration of the component gas;
wherein the alert comprises a recommended remedial action; and
wherein the recommended remedial action comprises activation of an environmental control system of the aircraft.
