Week 5 Day 24

The morning session was spent cleaning up our poster and working on the methods section of our paper.  Chirag spent some more time developing the wireless portion of our sensor and trying to get two of the units to talk to each other.  By the end of the day he was getting data from our sensor from the wireless xbee, but was working on cleaning up some extraneous values.  Hopefully by tomorrow we will be completely wireless.

This afternoon we attended a seminar by Dr. Kuruvilla John on Air Quality Monitoring.  He discussed how air pollution has progressed over time, and the legislation that has been put into place to help monitor the issue.  He also discussed different detection methods for every thing from ozone to particulate matter.  It was very interesting to see several of the parameters that we have investigated for indoor air applied to the outdoor setting.
