Awesome work! Do you have any plans to add/track gas pollutants?

I run a similar open source app specifically for my little community in Gary, IN https://millerbeach.community and run a RAMP monitor provided by a local company Sensit Technologies, and a PurpleAir II and have about ~4 years worth of data in 15 min intervals. I've been meaning to swap out the PurpleAir with another, but I'll swap it out with this instead!

We started testing electrochemical NO and NO2 sensors from Alpha Sense in our lab and are in the early stages to design a unit that would also measure these gases but we are many months away to have something in the market.

I can’t wait for this, especially with how often gas stoves are in the news lately.

The EPA limit for NO2 is 100ppb; have you found a sensor that can reliably report levels near that threshhold for less than $500? I haven't. Also the ones that don't require frequent recalibration seemed to be even more expensive.
