Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is the third-most problematic greenhouse gas and the leading ozone-depleting gas emitted by human activities. Understanding N₂O emissions is vital for climate modeling and reducing agriculture emissions, yet existing monitoring technologies are expensive, time consuming, or limited in spatial and temporal resolution. This work presents the design of portable N₂O sensor based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy, as well as a custom-built gas mixing chamber for sensor testing. Test results demonstrae ppm-level sensitivity to N₂O.
