Here’s a how-to regarding the detection of volatile organic compounds using Arduino and a TGS2620 sensor –
This lets your Arduino smell (and hence you program responses to) overall gas levels for a variety of nasties, including ethanol, methane, formaldehyde, and a bunch of other volatile organic compounds.
No explanation as to how refraining from shirt usage enhances this process, but we’ll keep you posted. – How to smell pollutants instructable

as the maker of this instructable, i can confirm that most projects are more enjoyable by refraining from usage of as much clothing as you can get away with:-) there is, of course, the painful exception of welding…
I’d like to add soldering and lathe operation as activities best enjoyed while clothed.
upon further consideration I can report positive results from blogging sans shirt – no pants data as of yet.
