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 …
Mass Balance of Mercury in the Idrijca River Catchment
Mercury (Hg) pollution has been investigated in the area of the Idrija mercury mine, Slovenia, where the second largest mercury mine in the world operated for more then 500 years. Although the production of mercury at the Idrija mercury mine stopped in 1994, centuries of mining and ore processing operations …
