1. A fluid quality monitoring system comprising:
- a filter having an upstream face and a downstream face and defining a form factor;
a filter medium arranged within the form factor;
a sensor package arranged within the form factor of the filter and within the filter medium, wherein the sensor package is configured to detect at least one fluid quality factor, the sensor package including at least one sensor configured to detect one of the group consisting of;
smoke particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, radon, mold, volatile organic compounds, oxygen, humidity, particulate matter having a predetermined size range, ammonia, ozone, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ethylene oxide, hydrochloric acid, formaldehyde, airborne disease vectors, airborne chemical compounds, airborne biological compounds, lead, Legionella, heavy metals, pH, and mineral presence; and
a transmitter electronically coupled to the sensor package and including an antenna for autonomous wireless transmission of the detected at least one fluid quality factor.
