Assessment of individual-level exposure to air pollutants using personal monitoring
A paradigm shift is occurring in the assessment of exposure to urban environmental stressors. Improved accuracy of personal monitors has enabled researchers to study exposure at the individual level. Monitoring stations are the primary reference point for air quality in urban environments, although there is a need to assess exposure …
User experience evaluation of novel air quality sensing technologies for citizen engagement in environmental health studies
The use of low-cost sensing technologies increasingly used in participatory environmental health studies brings both opportunities and challenges. While previous research mostly focused on technical aspects, this thesis brings participants to the foreground and articulates their experiences. It aims to evaluate if low-cost sensing technologies are fitfor- purpose in environmental …
Mercury in the Process of Cement Clinker Production and Emission Control
Mercury is a very toxic element. Due to its volubility it is present everywhere in the environment at ambient temperature. High temperature processes increased levels of mercury on the global scale. Global and European action plans were established to reduce mercury emissions and remove mercury from the environment. Cement plants …
