PRAXIS MONITORS USED TO IDENTIFY PARTICULATE HOTSPOTS AT HS2 SITE Did you know that we work in partnership with academic teams on air quality monitoring? This study, led by the University of Birmingham, is a good example. Francis Pope, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Birmingham and senior author of the paper had this to say: “This latest study showcases the combination of an elegant methodology for analysing real-time data from inexpensive sensors. It provides a potentially powerful solution for industry, local government and a whole host of other organisations to understand the air quality around them, and also provides a way forward to meet the Government’s legal duty on air quality standards.” #AirQualityMonitoring #EnvironmentalMonitoring #AirPollution

Imagine removing carbon dioxide right from the air. New Northwestern research shows a novel approach to doing just that. The "moisture-swing" technique offers an effective & economically viable way to collect carbon directly from ambient conditions. https://bit.ly/3Ff8o8M

Direct air capture is just one of the ways the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management is working toward a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy. Learn more about this exciting technology! #directaircapture #DAChubs #carbonmanagement

How do Plants Uptake CO₂ from the Environment? An einstein™ Experiment Fourier's team experimented with the einstein™ Tablet with its MiLABEx software and the CO₂ Sensor to measure the CO₂ levels of leaves placed inside a sealed container. The purpose of the experiment is to test how plants uptake CO₂ from the surrounding environment through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a vital biological process through which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. This is a practical way to visually demonstrate the process of photosynthesis and its importance in CO₂ absorption from the environment, making it a relevant and engaging experiment in the context of climate change education. Watch the video to see the experiment components, setup, and results.

UH media: UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON STUDY SHOWS ELECTRIC VEHICLES CAN HAVE POSITIVE IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN SOME CITIES, NOT ALL A recent study conducted by the University of Houston's air quality and machine learning group has shed light on the complex relationship between electric vehicle (EV) adoption and its impacts on air quality and public health. While the transition to electric vehicles is generally associated with positive outcomes, including the reduction of greenhouse gas concentrations, the study reveals nuanced effects that vary by city. https://lnkd.in/dGb9vZwc

In a series of meticulous experiments, scientists at MIT have demonstrated that light striking the interface between air and water can trigger evaporation independently of heat. This effect, observed when light interacts with water molecules at the surface, leads to their liberation into the air, challenging the conventional understanding of evaporation. https://lnkd.in/eeZyJgRq FuturistSpeaker.com #foresight #predictions #futuretrends #futureofwork #futurejobs #keynotespeaker #futuriststrategy #mostquoted

Interesting development....Refrigeration breakthrough ?

🚨 New Research Publication Alert! 🚨 The latest publication, led by BERTHA researchers Louise Bøge Frederickson and Ole Hertel, aimed to determine the ability of low-cost sensors to measure the gradient in pollution between street and urban backgrounds in a specific street configuration. Highlights: ➡ Investigation of pollution concentrations from street to urban background using low-cost sensors. ➡ A moderate correlation was found between traffic-related air pollution, noise, and traffic counts, influenced by wind speed and direction. ➡ No vertical gradient was detected with low-cost sensors, despite low sensor intervariability. ➡ Large-eddy simulation model runs using the PALM model system generally supported the measured observations. ➡ Vertical concentration profile is very sensitive to stratification 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dsYb_xEd

I am pleased to share that our new article has been published in the "Journal of Aerosol Science". Thanks to all my professors. This article is all about the physics behind the mitigation of particulate matter of micron and submicron range. This article may give insightful parameters that will help for modelling and making an electo based air purification. https://lnkd.in/gVdQRWNs
