According to your sibling, there are already off-the-shelf sensors that detect some malodors. Maybe we just need to source already-existing components and convince an EE/manufacturing engineer to do a kickstarter?
- maxxxxx 10y agoThe problem is that you need to know what chemical you are looking for that's causing the smell. Are there any sensors that can detect a wide range of smells?
- jonwachob91 10y agoA quick google search reveals a number of label free odor sensors, everything is early stage though. Label free may not be the best phrase for what you meant though. Label free means you are looking at all biomarkers present in a sample, the primary challenge with label free is that we don't know every biomarker to look for or what every biomarker we see means.
