Environmental Sensors for Air Quality (ESAIRQ)
Annotation in Czech
The awareness of the society regarding air quality is increasing since air pollution is growing and negative impact of polluted air is more and more understood. With the growing demand for sensor technologies and the potential of semiconductor technologies for this application area the project ESAIRQ targets to further develop essential technologies for gas sensing with research for selective, sensitive and reliable sensors at affordable costs for mass exploitation. The miniaturized sensor technologies developed in this project are key enablers for sensor networks for air quality monitoring that can be formed either by embedding sensors in the basic infrastructure or even in mobile devices. The gas, fine particle and pathogen sensing technologies, will have a significant societal impact in case measures are derived based on the known air quality and constitution. Dependent on the measures reduction of mortality rates and healthcare costs in polluted environments can be achieved. The technological challenges addressed in the project are in the realization of low cost affordable sensors fulfilling the requirements regarding size, sensitivity, selectivity and lifetime: • to increase the selectivity of sensors, especially to particle matter and polluting organic and inorganic gases when offered as gas mixtures. • to realise miniaturisation with functional integration of e.g. the emitters and detectors or circuits to control absorption and desorption. • to benefit from the cost and quality advantages of the semiconductor process technologies for high volumes and low cost compatible processes will be developed. • to enable low power integration of sensors in connected solutions and the setup of services.

Project results evaluation
The aim of the cluster project was to increase society awareness of the impact of air quality on human health and thus emphasize the importance of developing small, high-quality and energy-saving sensors. The project will develop miniaturized sensor technologies enabling the development of sensor networks for air quality monitoring. Great interest can be expected in mobile technologies for monitoring gases and fine particles. IMA will use existing and newly developed sensors to create a network to support the interior of buildings. The new model will include an appropriate air quality / energy intensity.
