NOx removal efficiency of urban photocatalytic pavements at pilot scale.
José María Cordero,Ramón Hingorani,Eva Jimenez-Relinque,Maria Grande,Rafael Borge,Adolfo Narros,Marta Castellote +6 more
TL;DR: It was found that the NO2 removal efficiency presented large variations across the seasons, with maxima during the warmer months, while NO efficiencies were comparatively steadier, and statistical analysis delivered evidence that the efficiencies significantly depend on different meteorological variables (irradiance and relative humidity) besides NO, NO2 ambient concentrations.

TL;DR: PRAISE-HK as discussed by the authors is based on real-time data on emissions, high resolution urban morphology, meteorology, physical and chemical processes affecting pollutant transport and transformations, and extensive measurements of air pollution concentrations in typical locations such as homes, schools, offices, and transportation, and big data integration of sensor monitoring to accurately estimate current and short-term forecasted street-level air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping do-it-yourself science.
TL;DR: It is concluded that each and every conceptualisation of DIY science cannot stand independently from the situatedness of its multiple contexts, therefore making its usage in policy making and governance particularly complex.
