Mouser Electronics Highlights Importance of Environmental Sensors in New Series

In the heart of Texas, Mouser Electronics Inc., a renowned distributor of semiconductors and electronic components, has launched the latest episode of its acclaimed series, Empowering Innovation Together. This episode focuses on the rising demand for environmental sensors, particularly those used for indoor air quality monitoring. The company’s series delves into the technology, applications, and implications of these sensors through a variety of content formats, including articles, blogs, videos, and podcast episodes.

The need for environmental sensors has spiked recently due to an increased focus on improving air quality within workplaces. This surge in demand is partly driven by the pandemic and the subsequent need for cleaner indoor air. Environmental sensors offer real-time monitoring of pollutants, particulates, and hazardous gases, enabling employers to promptly address potential risks to their employees’ health and productivity. Poor indoor air quality can lead to short-term health issues such as headaches, fatigue, and concentration difficulties.

In the absence of federal standards for indoor air quality, employers are taking the initiative to monitor their environments and ensure clean air for their employees. Environmental sensors provide an effective means of achieving this goal, offering precise readings that can be tracked over time to provide essential data.

Raymond Yin, Technical Content Director at Mouser Electronics, highlighted the importance of environmental sensors in maintaining clean air within workplaces. He expressed Mouser’s enthusiasm in sharing this informative episode of the Empowering Innovation Together series. The initiative aims to equip engineers with the knowledge they need to develop solutions for improving indoor air quality.

The latest episode of The Tech Between Us podcast, hosted by Yin, features a discussion with Ronan Cooney, Head of Product at Ambisense. They discuss the current state of indoor air quality in comparison to outdoor air quality and explore the main contributors to poor air quality, regulations, and design considerations for air quality measurement devices. The episode also outlines Mouser’s selection of environmental sensors and the factors to consider when designing for specific applications.

Mouser’s range of articles, infographics, and videos provide a comprehensive insight into environmental sensors, the risks associated with poor indoor air quality, and the exploration of sensor selection for improving indoor air quality (IAQ) and choosing the right volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors. This episode of the series is sponsored by Mouser’s esteemed partners Amphenol, TE Connectivity, Honeywell, Renesas, Sensirion, and Bosch.
