  Title microCANARY – A Personal Hostile Environment Monit
  Abstract This design clearly meets the "Ultra-Low Power Challange"! Not only is it easy on the coin cell, but it meets a vital need regarding the target spplication. The microCanary is a small electronic monitoring device for people who work in potentially hazardous environments, such as mines, breweries, laboratories, tunnels, etc.. The user can wear it like a badge. It can be clipped onto attire, or worn around the neck. The basic microCanary device checks carbon dioxide levels, carbon monoxide levels, temperature levels, and the wearer’s heart rate (a separate BM-CS5SR heart rate monitor is required). For those interested the name (microCANARY), it comes from when miners used canaries to monitor the air quality down in the mines. If the poor canary died, it was time to get out.
