  • Publication number: 20210247289
    Abstract: [Object] To provide an environmental measurement apparatus that detects a fine particle in the air such as smoke or an odor and can be made small, an information processing apparatus that uses measurement data acquired using the environmental measurement apparatus, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program. [Solving Means] An environmental measurement apparatus includes a light source and a light-receiving-element array. The light source irradiates light onto a fine particle in gas. The light-receiving-element array includes a plurality of light receiving elements receiving backscattered light obtained by the light being irradiated onto the fine particle.
