Pick up a dust sensor or two for the space, CNC Room, etc #1021

The revspace project uses these, they're approx £20 in BoM, but incredibly useful. Would be a great way to quantify the dustiness of the CNC room, and when a mask might be required.

I've got an Air Quality Egg v1 Arduino shield (which has temp/humidity, CO and NO2 sensors - see the individual sensors at https://shop.wickeddevice.com/product-category/sensors/), and a Shinyei PPD42 PM2.5 particulates sensor (see https://github.com/mozilla-sensorweb/sensorweb-wiki/wiki/Shinyei-PPD42-Particle-Sensor)

It'd need some coding and hooking up to an ESP8266 or something, but if someone wants to build it up... (I have also offered them for loan out in the short-term too, see the Google Group thread on "Air Quality Monitoring Equipment")

I think we had air quality eggs around the place. Is that correct? Are we still in the market for dust sensors or has this become relatively self policing?
