Cambridge engineers have used #drones, handheld particle sensors and a new modelling framework to measure, map and characterise harmful shipping emission particles at both land and sea: eng.cam.ac.uk/news/monitoring-maritime-emissions-land-and-sea-using-drones-and-handheld-particle-sensors
It is the first time that multi-characteristic particle measurements – including lung deposited surface area (LDSA), #BlackCarbon, and particle number – have been performed in this way, and it is hoped that this research will inform #environmental initiatives and support efforts to clean up the maritime sector.
This research was carried out by the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, alongside the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES), and supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore, under its Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) programme.
