Gas Detection System For Biomass Cookstove Emissions, Jeffery Smith, Cyera Bishop, Matthew Jones

Journal of Undergraduate Research

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.
