Meteorology Specialist Benjamin Surmeli, Dyson and National Geographicsigned a remarkable collaboration. Bünyamin Sürmeli, known as the Man Sniffing the Air, includes a mobile air pollution measurement unit. Dyson Backpacks He wandered the streets of Istanbul with
Surmeli’s daily use Dyson Backpacksat Dyson in air cleaners current sensing technology is used. The backpack can collect air pollution data on the go. Dyson; The backpack with built-in sensors, battery pack and GPS explores personal exposure to air pollution and how to avoid it. Dyson engineers matched the weather sensor and GPS data on his backpack with Bünyamin’s daily activities to analyze the air pollution findings. With this information, the engineers identify the sources of pollution that Bünyamin encounters and suggest ways to reduce his exposure to air pollution.
Research shows that activities such as entering crowded environments, walking on busy streets, driving around public transport and traveling by automobile cause a spike in pollutants such as PM2.5, VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide).

Bünyamin Sürmeni’s statement on the subject
Meteorology Specialist Bünyamin Sürmeli on the subject: “Istanbul is one of the most crowded and busiest cities in the world. As part of my job, I am well aware of the importance of the air we breathe, but it is very interesting to try to understand air quality from the point of view of exposure to polluted air. This is the main reason why I wanted to realize the backpack project with Dyson.” said.
Dyson also made a statement on the subject.
Scott Lowther, Dyson Air Quality Data Scientist, said: “Traffic emissions NO.2 NO NO is usually found around vehicles because it emits pollutant2We see the highest level in . Taking simple measures, such as avoiding peak travel times, choosing routes with less traffic, and changing the mode of transport used, can help reduce exposure to air pollution over time.” said.
