New York school district installs vape detectors in middle school bathrooms that can also pick up sound
Fox News
A New York school district has started installing vape detectors in middle school bathrooms that can sense air quality and shifts in sound.
Two vape detectors have been installed in each of the bathrooms at the middle school. The Town of Babylon paid for the devices using funds from the American Rescue Plan.
"The device not only picks up nicotine in the air, it also picks up on THC and also picks up on aggressive behavior, so students looking to bully and fight in the bathrooms," Derek Peterson of Soter Technologies, which developed the detectors, told CBS New York.
