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.
