MAJOR NEW LOW-COST AIR QUALITY MONITORING TECHNOLOGY

摘要

In addition to odour monitoring for hydrogen sulphide or ammonia, Arthur Burnley also believes that there will be a major market in traffic related air quality: "Air pollution is a major issue politically and in the media, with towns and cities around the world regularly exceeding safe air quality levels, resulting in hundreds of thousands of premature deaths. "Urban spaces are suffering from air pollution and streets and pavements are the most hazardous to wellbeing because vehicle emissions concentrate at the roadsides. Politicians, architects and urban planners are therefore focusing on lowering the concentrations of particles and nitrogen dioxide (N0_2). "Air quality improvements can only be implemented effectively with appropriate and comprehensive levels of monitoring, so that the effects of mitigation measures can be properly assessed. The launch of the EDT will therefore be great news for consultants, researchers and local authorities, because it provides them with a simple low-cost way to monitor N0_2 in almost any location."
