For the sense/ information wearable project, I intend to create something that can convey useful information to people who is wearing it. One thing that i'm interested about is pollution - especially with the number of people having asthma is increasing evevry year, and pollution like dust, smoke, chemicals can trigger asthma among adults. 

Since not everyone has the habbit to check air condition evevryday and care about their health every second, I think it's useful to make the information wearable and the user can be noticed physically. 

I will be using an air quality sensor: MiCS5524 CO, Alcohol and VOC Gas Sensor, Adafruit Gemma, and several LEDs. I thought about  using a LCD as well to read data directly but it might be hard to power it with the battery to sew. 

With the VOC level is getting higher, the LED sewed in the cuff will light up and become brighter to warn the user it's time to wear a mask.
