1. A system for monitoring and collecting environmental data, comprising:
a primary substrate comprising a plurality of sensor modules, wherein each sensor module is configured to couple to a sensor;
a manifold comprising a plurality of flow hoods, wherein each flow hood is configured to be disposed on a top surface of a sensor coupled to a sensor module on the primary substrate and wherein a flow hood in the manifold is configured to be connected to another component in the manifold or on the primary substrate such that fluid flows through the plurality of flow hoods in an order based on a sensitivity of the sensor in each of the plurality of sensor modules;
a plurality of secondary substrates, wherein each secondary substrate is disposed on a top surface of the flow hood in the manifold; and
a connector disposed on the primary substrate configured to provide a connection from a sensor module to a data processor.
