“…Moreover, the monitoring, through chemoresistive sensors, of the presence of hazardous levels of explosive gases is pivotal in preventing accidents and fire in domestic residences. Moreover, due to their low cost, small size, and ease of use, chemoresistive sensors are also employed in devices for industrial emission control, automotive (e.g., vehicle emission control) and agricultural monitoring, and agri-food processing [74][75][76][77]. Another noticeable application of chemoresistive sensors is in security safeguarding, due to the early and efficient detection of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) that can cause irreversible health damages [12,22].…”

The necessity of detecting and recognizing gases is crucial in many research and application fields, boosting, in the last years, their continuously evolving technology. The basic detection principle of gas sensors relies on the conversion of gas concentration changes into a readable signal that can be analyzed to calibrate sensors to detect specific gases or mixtures. The large variety of gas sensor types is here examined in detail, along with an accurate description of their fundamental characteristics and functioning principles, classified based on their working mechanisms (electrochemical, resonant, optical, chemoresistive, capacitive, and catalytic). This review is particularly focused on chemoresistive sensors, whose electrical resistance changes because of chemical reactions between the gas and the sensor surface, and, in particular, we focus on the ones developed by us and their applications in the medical field as an example of the technological transfer of this technology to medicine. Nowadays, chemoresistive sensors are, in fact, strong candidates for the implementation of devices for the screening and monitoring of tumors (the second worldwide cause of death, with ~9 million deaths) and other pathologies, with promising future perspectives that are briefly discussed as well.

“…Moreover, being contained and reused after purification, the wastewater can help reduce water scarcity [33]. However, research on rainwater management shows that if rainwater is stored in either porous or with a filter discharge valve, then the water will eventually infiltrate into the phreatic zone, recharging the aquifer [34].…”

Assessing Rainwater Harvesting Potential in Urban Areas: A Building Information Modelling (BIM) Approach

Water scarcity has become a major problem for many countries, resulting in declining water supply and creating a need to find alternative solutions. One potential solution is rainwater harvesting (RwH), which allows rainwater to be stored for human needs. This study develops an RwH assessment system through building information modeling (BIM). For this purpose, a hydrological study of Cfa-type climate cities is conducted with the example of Islamabad, Pakistan. The monthly rainfall data of three sites were assessed to determine the volume of the accumulated rainwater and its potential to meet human needs. The average number of people living in a house is taken as the household number. Household number or of the number of employees working at a small enterprise, roofing material, and rooftop area are used as the key parameters for pertinent assessment in the BIM. The data simulated by BIM highlight the RwH potential using five people per house as the occupancy and a 90 m2 rooftop area for residential buildings or small enterprises as parameters. The results show that the selected sites can collect as much as 8,190 L/yr of rainwater (48 L/person/day) to 103,300 L/yr of rainwater (56 L/person/day). This much water is enough to fulfill the daily demands of up to five people. Therefore, it is established that the study area has an RwH potential that is able to meet the expected demands. This study presents a baseline approach for RwH to address water scarcity issues for residential buildings and factories of the future.
