Low cost air quality monitors to evaluate nanosized particulate matter. A pilot study

Correlating Particulate Matter Mobile Source Emissions to Ambient Air Quality

This paper describes the work and results of the second phase of research sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiated to study the relationship between traffic activity and ambient PM2.5 concentrations. The study, entitled “Estimating the Transportation Contribution to Particulate Matter Pollution”, had the objective of performing a correlation analyses on particulate matte...

air quality and health risks associated with exposure to particulate matter: a cross-sectional study in khorramabad, iran

conclusions in order to diminish the health impacts of particulate matter in khorramabad, health training for the public, especially for persons with chronic lung and heart diseases, the elderly, and children, should be conducted by health systems to encourage them to reduce their activities during dusty days. materials and methods the pm10 sampling was carried out with a high-volume sampler at...

Ambient Particulate Matter Air Pollution in Mpererwe District, Kampala, Uganda: A Pilot Study

Air quality in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, has deteriorated significantly in the past two decades. We made spot measurements in Mpererwe district for airborne particulate matter PM2.5 (fine particles) and coarse particles. PM was collected on Teflon-membrane filters and analyzed for mass, 51 elements, 3 anions, and 5 cations. Both fine and coarse particle concentrations were above 100 µg/m(...

Distributed, Low-cost Particulate Matter Sensing: Scenarios, Challenges, Approaches

The observation and control of particulate matter (PM) pollution in ambient air is increasingly being recognized as an important topic in societies across the globe. Classic measurement approaches provide accurate daily means but are static, expensive and suffer from low spatial resolution and high latency. Distributed measurement grids using real-time capable instrumentation not only can provi...
