Kind reminds me of this old project we did in uni by using the SDS011 sensor. For monitoring PM2.5/PM10 data.

Add a sensor and some Python 3 to your Raspberry Pi to keep tabs on your local air pollution, in the project taken from Hackspace magazine issue 21

For advanced usage, switch to C++ (I know CircuitPython can't put the processor into and out of sleep mode, and I assume MicroPython can't either, otherwise I'd say stick with MP) and sleep the mcu, using an interrupt on the button press to wake it up, do the activity, and put it back to sleep. Then you can run it for ages on a battery.
