Pathogenic bio-aerosols are a threat to public health today, and thus quick detection and identification is of paramount importance. In this study, Raman spectroscopy was used to test 14 types of pollens, one type of fungus and two types of bacteria ...
The aim of this study was to establish a method for predicting heavy metal concentrations in PM (aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤ 1.0 μm) based on back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) me...
Particulate matter with a mass concentration of particles with a diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a key air quality parameter. A real-time knowledge of PM is highly valuable for lowering the risk of detrimental impacts on human health. To achieve th...
Millirobots that can adapt to unstructured environments, operate in confined spaces, and interact with a diverse range of objects would be desirable for exploration and biomedical applications. The continued development of millirobots, however, requi...
Despite their extremely small size, fine-mode aerosols have significant impacts on the environment, climate, and human health. However, current understandings of global changes in fine-mode aerosols are limited. In this study, we employed newly devel...
Various volatile aerosols have been associated with adverse health effects; however, characterization of these aerosols is challenging due to their dynamic nature. Here, we present a method that directly measures the volatility of particulate matter ...
The latest Multi-angle Imaging Spectro Radiometer (MISR) Version (V) 23 aerosol optical depth (AOD) products were released, with an improved spatial resolution of 4.4 km, providing an unprecedented opportunity for the refined regional application. To...
Exposure to bio-aerosols such as pollen can lead to adverse health effects. There is a need for a portable and cost-effective device for long-term monitoring and quantification of various types of pollen. To address this need, we present a mobile and...
Fibrous filter made up of non-woven material was utilized in many industrial applications for increasing the collection efficiency and the quality factor. But there exists a competing effect among the fibre diameter, filtration efficiency, pressure d...
