Carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is commonly used to determine indoor air quality. However, wearable environmental monitoring devices have not considered CO2 content, because they have mainly focused on the outdoor environment. Our goal is to develop a new wearable monitoring system for indoor research purposes that also incorporates a CO2 concentration sensor. We evaluated the performance of two low-cost CO2 sensors, the Senseair K30 and the Sensirion SCD30, by comparing them with a professional reference sensor in two different environments: a Test Cell and the LabZEB of ITC-CNR. A first result shows that both low-cost sensors have acceptable performance, with the K30 showing a trend closer to that of the professional reference sensor and better overall performance. For this reason, we conducted a third test in which we encapsulated the selected K30 low-cost sensor in a 3D-printed, wearable housing that supports the sensor and control unit to see if the 3D-printed part could affect measurement performance. The result shows no interference in measurement performance. This suggests that low-cost sensors can be used in a wearable system to assess indoor air quality for environmental and human-centered research in the built environment.

The ecological transition calls for an increasing need for local climate services. A fine spatial characterization of atmospheric relevant quantities (temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, solar radiation, etc.) at long-term climatological scales is typically based on observational networks run by public entities such as the European Union (e.g. Copernicus services) and national and regional Agencies (e.g. National Met Office, Hydrographic Offices). The aim of this work is to verify if the density of these networks is adequate to represent the variability over the territory, with particular regard to a complex terrain area such as the Aterno river Valley in Abruzzo, Central Italy. We use a combination of public networks and the available dense amateur network of weather stations. We subject the database to careful data quality check both in terms of temporal and spatial anomalies. We found that the public network is generally adequate to represent the spatial and temporal variability over the area in terms of temperature and precipitation, but this is not the case for wind and relative humidity for the lack of sensors. We suggest that an integration of public and non-institutional observational networks is desirable for a finer climatological characterization of a complex territory and for allowing the description of more phenomena, in order to better inform adaptation measures with respect to climate change.
