Gas Detection System for Biomass Cookstove Emissions

The purpose of this research project was to explore Peruvian social and cultural behaviors that typically prevent successful improved cookstove adoption in resource-limited settings as well as suggest ways to educate locals about the benefits of improved cookstoves.

Description
Summary:The purpose of this research project was to explore Peruvian social and cultural behaviors that typically prevent successful improved cookstove adoption in resource-limited settings as well as suggest ways to educate locals about the benefits of improved cookstoves. This will be done by a BYU Global Engineering Outreach (GEO) team, including ORCA recipients Cyera Bishop and Jeffery Smith, constructing a cost-effective, easy-to-use gas detection sensor system capable of measuring concentrations of harmful gases released from biomass cookstoves typically found in Peruvian communities.
