Devices like Enviro+ allow fine-grained, detailed datasets that let us see shifts in air quality through time and across different areas of cities. The more devices that contribute data, the better quality the dataset becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticulate matter (PM) is made up of tiny particles that are a mix of sizes and types, like dust, pollen, mould spores, smoke particles, organic particles and metal ions, and more. Particulates are much of what we think of as air pollution. They can be measured, in size and quantity, by particulate matter sensors like the \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/pms5003-particulate-matter-sensor-with-cable\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePMS5003\u003c\/a\u003e that you can connect to Enviro+.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature, air pressure and humidity can all affect particulate levels too, so the BME688 sensor on Pico Enviro+ Pack is really important to understanding the other data that it outputs. The gas sensor function on BME688 will react to changes in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and the presence of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to give a general measure of indoor or outdoor air quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoftware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eC++\/MicroPython\u003c\/strong\u003e libraries include support for the screen and all the onboard sensors on Pico Enviro+.
