We are currently working on a sensor for measuring particulates in the air, a common problem in bigger cities and industrial regions. The data we collect will be forwarded to the http://luftdaten.info project, which already collects data with over 300 sensors. We want to contribute to this project with a TTN implementation of the sensor, in addition to the already existing Wifi setup from luftdaten.info and [Code for Stuttgart](http://codefor.de/en/stuttgart/) .

We are going to document our efforts on our [Github Wiki](https://github.com/verschwoerhaus), so everyone can benefit from this.
