Deploying the Global Environmental Surveillance Network

Explore the development and implementation of a global network of sensors for monitoring air quality and radiation in this conference talk from the 2015 Hackaday SuperConference. Discover how Radu Motisan created two versions of sensor nodes, designed a platform for data collection and public dissemination, and achieved impressive sensitivity in measurements. Learn about the project's ability to detect correlations between air quality and high-traffic periods, as well as its capacity to identify radiation sources from school experiments and elevated levels during air travel. Gain insights into the uRADMonitor project's history, challenges faced, and technical details, while understanding the importance of creativity and community in the maker movement.
