APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A PORTABLE PERSONAL AIR QUALITY MONITOR
First Claim
1. A personal air quality monitor, comprising:
- a housing suitable for physical association with a person;
an air inlet capable of providing air flow from an environment outside the housing to at least one chamber within the housing;
a plurality of sensors, including at least one particulate sensor and at least one electrochemical sensor discrete from the at least one particulate sensor, resident within the at least one chamber, suitable for receiving the airflow and measuring air quality factors associated with the airflow;
a remote monitoring system capable of monitoring at least particulate and chemical environmental features of at least one remote environment remote from the person; and
a communication system suitable for processing the air quality factor measurements and communicating the processed air quality factor measurements and the environmental features of the remote environment to a user interface cognizable to the person.

17. A method of monitoring air quality, comprising:
-
providing, through an air access point, air to at least two air quality factor sensors, comprising at least a particulate sensor and a discrete electrochemical sensor, of a personal, portable air quality monitor; reading an air quality factor indicated by each of the air quality factor sensors; processing the data from the sensors into at least one indication of air quality; displaying the at least one indication of air quality, and at least one indication of a remote air quality in a remote environment, to a person associated with the personal, portable air quality monitor. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
