Fermion SGP40 Air Quality Sensor – Breakout Board

The SGP40 Air Quality Sensor is a handy breakout board with a VOC sensor chip that helps you monitor your air quality to keep you and your environment healthy.

 

Air pollution is a sad reality we face due to nearby factories or vehicle fumes. Many have growing concerns for the environment and people exposed to unclean air over long periods. While human beings naturally recognize heavily polluted air and know that it can cause serious problems to continuously breathe in. Sometimes the air around us may not seem so unhealthy, but even trace amounts of unfriendly gases can cause struggles in concentration and result in further health problems. We could be living more productive and focused lives, which would make us happier and more efficient Makers both in the short and long term. Sensor modules like this SGP40 Air Quality Sensor allows you to finally identify unhealthy air.

As a breakout board from DFRobot’s Fermion series, the SGP40 Air Quality Sensor Module is designed for enhancing advanced Maker projects with air sensing capabilities. A lower power of 2.6mA and fast 2 second responses make the SGP40 Air Quality Sensor perfect for evaluating indoor air quality. This sensor utilises a digital VOC sensor chip from the well-known Sensirion brand. On a single chip, a complete sensor system features a temperature-controlled micro-hotplate and humidity-compensated indoor air quality signal. If you are interested in safety applications as refitting air purifiers or kitchen hoods, the SGP40 Air Quality Sensor is just the breakout board you need to keep your environment and you as healthy as possible.
