Development of a Portable Radon Progeny Monitor for Individual Concentration
INTRODUCTION The Rn(radon) family is the most significant source of exposure to natural radiation, causing about one-half of the public effective dose. A number of international organizations, including UNSCEAR (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation) and ICRP (International Commission on Radiological Protection) have officially reported this fact since the 1980’...
متن کاملMiniature Personal Ozone Monitor Based on UV Absorbance.
A new portable instrument has been developed that offers rapid detection of ozone at the ppb level for personal exposure monitoring. The Personal Ozone Monitor is based on the EPA Federal Reference Method of UV absorbance and has the advantage of being small (10 × 7.6 × 3.8 cm), light-weight (0.3 kg), low power (2.9 watts), and battery-operated. The instrument can be worn by an individual durin...
متن کاملWirelessly powered miniature wearable vital signs monitor
Wireless, wearable health and activity monitoring devices are becoming an interesting solution for early detection of health problems and remote surveillance of post-incident patients. While efficient and precise signal acquisition and processing are readily available, the biggest challenge in widespread adoption of wearable monitoring devices lies in their energy supply. The tradeoff between t...
متن کاملMiniature RT–PCR system for diagnosis of RNA-based viruses
This paper presents an innovative portable chip-based RT-PCR system for amplification of specific nucleic acid and detection of RNA-based viruses. The miniature RT-PCR chip is fabricated using MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical-system) techniques, and comprises a micro temperature control module and a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-based microfluidic control module. The heating and sensing elements of...
متن کاملPCR for bioaerosol monitoring: sensitivity and environmental interference.
The PCR technique has potential for use in detection of low concentrations of airborne microorganisms. In this study, the sensitivity of PCR and its susceptibility to environmental interference were assessed with Escherichia coli DH1 as the target organism. Air samples, containing environmental bioaerosols, were collected with AGI-30 samplers and seeded with E. coli DH1 cells. Parallel studies ...
