ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) is provided for detecting an atmospheric component. The apparatus, capable of being inserted into an electronic device (30) having an imager (36) and a processor, comprises a substrate; one or more calorimetric reagents (14) positioned on the substrate; one or more reference colors (16), each associated with one of the one or more colorimetric reagents; and data bars (18) positioned on the substrate depicting information about the one or more colorimetric reagents; wherein, when the apparatus is inserted in the electronic device, the imager is capable of detecting colors of the colorimetric reagents based upon the one or more reference colors and information from the data bars, the processor determining whether an atmospheric component is present based upon whether any colors of the colorimetric reagents have changed.
