3rd Sensors Webinar
Sensors for Air Quality Monitoring
New sensors to detect air pollutants like fine dust (PM10, PM2.5), O3, NO2 or CO as well as greenhouse gases like CO2 are available and applied in different areas of air pollutant measurements. These sensors are not only small, lightweight, fast and cheap but also relatively unstable and inaccurate. Due to the now available Technical Specification CEN/TS 17660-1 "Air quality - Performance evaluation of air quality sensor systems - Part 1: Gaseous pollutants in ambient air", we have a basis for the application of digital sensors.
The newest status will be summarized about (1) the possibilities and shortcomings of the new sensing techniques and applications, (2) the methodologies to overcome their disadvantages, (3) the solutions to integrate networks of these sensors into the existing, well-calibrated air quality monitoring networks, (4) the solutions to use them for air quality information, (5) their application for new tasks as detection of air pollution hot spots or evaluation of emission inventories and numerical air pollution simulations as well as (6) detection of personal air pollution exposure and thus in epidemiology and environmental medicine.
Further, it is required to extend our knowledge on harmful compounds in the atmosphere. This is possible by measurements in ambient air but also at their emission sources. To improve human health, it is required also to detect personal pollen and fungi.
