A new folding smartphone from Samsung will allow you to monitor the level of pollution anywhere in the world.
Samsung has received a patent for an innovative foldable smartphone with a built-in air quality sensor. This technology will allow users to monitor the level of air pollution around them in real time.
The problem of air pollution has become particularly acute in recent years. In megacities, the concentration of harmful substances in the air often exceeds permissible norms by several times. This negatively affects people’s health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
Until recently, bulky and expensive stationary devices were used to monitor air quality. They were installed in separate points of the city. This was clearly not enough to get a complete picture of pollution on the scale of the entire metropolis. An innovation from Samsung is designed to solve this problem. A miniature sensor built into a folding smartphone will allow you to collect much more detailed data on air quality in different areas of the city in real time.
At the same time, the design of the smartphone is designed in such a way as to ensure the most efficient operation of the sensor. A built-in air duct directs air flow directly to the sensor and the user can adjust the angle of the housing for optimal flow.
Such technology opens up wide prospects for creating detailed interactive maps of air pollution in large cities. People will be able to monitor the environmental situation where they are in real time.
For example, residents will be able to choose routes with the lowest level of air pollution, and the city authorities will receive a tool for identifying problem areas and developing effective measures to improve the environmental situation.
