SentinAir system software: A flexible tool for data acquisition from heterogeneous sensors and devices

Domenico Suriano
- 01 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: Although designed for facilitating the on-field evaluation and calibration of air quality sensors, SentinAir can also be used to acquire data from various kinds of devices deployed far from the laboratory where the Internet connection is weak or unstable.

Low-cost air pollution monitoring system-an opportunity for reducing the health risk associated with physical activity in polluted air.

TL;DR: The outcome of monitoring of the state of air pollution by particle matter (PM10) in the Kraków agglomeration area is described to show that a low-cost air pollution monitoring system is capable of providing valuable information concerning air quality in a given region, which seems to be of importance also to people who practice varied sports activities in the open air.

Preparation and modification of an embossed nanofibrous materials for robust filtration performance of PM0.2 removal

TL;DR: In this paper, an embossed nanofiber membrane (ENM) using 3D patterns for use in air mask filtration and compares this structure with a planar nanofibrous materials (PNMs) was prepared using a combination of 3D printing and electrospinning technologies to increase the surface area of the ENM compared to that of planar structures.
