Could sensors help catch wildfires before they burn out of control?

Starting this month, 10 sensors placed in hilly areas east of Oakland, Calif., will be monitoring the air for signs of wildfires. The sensors, which can detect and measure gas, particulate matter and heat, are intended to help more quickly identify, locate and track blazes that could threaten the city.

How loud and polluted are Victoria's streets? Cycling coalition plans to find out

These futuristic-looking devices are small enough to fit inside a shoe box, but packed full of sensors that measure noise and air pollution - and they could soon be installed around Victoria, B.C. to improve the roads.
