Field of study: Electrical engineering
Monitoring of air pollutants is critical for many applications and studies. In <br/><br/>order to access air pollutants with high spatial and temporal resolutions, it is <br/><br/>necessary to develop an affordable, small size and weight, low power, high <br/><br/>sensitivity and selectivity, and wireless enable device that can provide real time <br/><br/>monitoring of air pollutants. Three different kind of such devices are presented, they <br/><br/>are targeting environmental pollutants such as volatile organic components (VOCs), <br/><br/>nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone. These devices employ innovative detection <br/><br/>methods, such as quartz crystal tuning fork coated with molecularly imprinted <br/><br/>polymer and chemical reaction induced color change colorimetric sensing. These <br/><br/>portable devices are validated using the gold standards in the laboratory, and their <br/><br/>functionality and capability are proved during the field tests, make them great tools <br/><br/>for various air quality monitoring applications.
