St. St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAP) has developed a special gas analyzer that detects the presence of impurities in the air from nicotine liquids for electronic cigarettes and e-cigarettes. In this respect reports publication “Izvestia”, referring to the university.
The developers hope to use their system in schools and colleges. Gas analyzers should assist educational institutions in combating the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems by youth.
“When our friends were injured, we decided to make a tool. For example, St. “A teenager from St. Petersburg died at the age of 12 because he smoked an e-cigarette, and our friend almost lost his leg when the lithium electronic cigarette battery in his pocket exploded,” said Nikita Litvintsev, chief engineer of the project.
A GUAP device is a small device like a Bluetooth speaker. The sensor installed inside reacts to the presence of glycerin and propylene glycol in the air, which are the main components of vape liquids. When these substances are detected, the device transmits a corresponding signal to the server over the Internet. There it is converted into a notification that can even be sent to Telegram.
The anti-vaping system is in the testing phase. For example, Second St. It is already in use at the St. Petersburg Gymnasium. Here the developers are testing the speed of sending notifications to teachers and the accuracy of determining glycerin and propylene glycol in air.
