Zhou, X., B. Gullett, Bill Mitchell, AND J. Aurell. Development and evaluation of a lightweight sensor system for aerial emission sampling from open area sources (Abstract). Presented at AWMA Annual Conference, Raleigh, NC, June 22 - 25, 2015.
Impact/Purpose:
This extended abstract, intended for oral presentation or poster presentation at this summer's AWMA conference, presents some of the first verification data from laboratory and burn calibration of a newly developed sensor and sampler system for ground and aerial sampling.
Description:
A new sensor system for mobile and aerial emission sampling was developed for open area pollutant sources, such as prescribed forest burns. The sensor system, termed “Kolibri”, consists of multiple low-cost air quality sensors measuring CO2, CO, samplers for particulate matter with diameter of 2.5 µm or less (PM2.5), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
