Fiori in aria: air quality indicator

Published:13 September 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

Indoor air pollution can provoke temporary uneasiness, headhache, sometimes sore throats or burning eyes and noses, but in the long term it can cause serious health problems both for young people, for the elderly and for those with existing diseases. It's easy to understand that knowing the quality of the air we are breathing is valuable. But most of all, having an easy readable object that shows you if you are in an unhealthy situation can simplify the task. A textile flower that opens and closes if the air quality is good or not could be a pleasurable object to wear and a indicator of the air quality.
