SINGAPORE — Tech companies are rolling out sensors to detect vaping, amid a sharp rise in the seizures of electronic vaporisers in Singapore. Communications and security company Motorola Solutions has, since September, been marketing its Halo Smart Sensor at organisations here, including at schools that have seen a spike in students caught vaping. Each sensor, which is about the size of a saucer, retails for about $2,000. It is usually placed overhead in toilets, classrooms or offices. Schools in the United States have placed similar devices in bathrooms, which have little adult supervision. The device monitors 16 data points including particulates, carbon monoxide and the number of people in the room. It is able to monitor the quality of air and detect dangerous vaping chemicals. When triggered, Halo sensors send an alert via SMS to a security control centre or teachers, who can then look around for e-vaporisers and the offending students.
