Non-Contacting Plant Health Monitoring via Ultrasound in Ambient Air

Monitoring ambient air quality for health impact assessment.

Monitoring and Reporting VOCs in Ambient Air

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are part of the large hydrocarbon family, a vast array of aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbons, their halogenated derivatives, alcohols, ketones and aldehydes. VOCs have a property of conversion into vapour or gas without any chemical change. They are highly reactive hydrocarbons and participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions. Some of them have negligible p...

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in Puducherry

During the summer of 2009, concentrations of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), oxides of sulphur (SOx), suspended particulate matter (SPM) and carbon monoxide (CO) were collected over successive periods of about 8 hour at eight sites. High volume air sampler was used to measure the concentration of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), oxides of sulphur (Sox), suspended particulate matter (SPM) and CO monitor was ...

Ambient air pollution and health.

The adverse health effects of air pollution became widely acknowledged after severe pollution episodes occurred in Europe and North America before the 1960s. In these areas, pollutant levels have decreased. During the last 15 years, however, consistent results, mainly from epidemiological studies, have provided evidence that current air pollutant levels have been associated with adverse long- a...

Non-contacting System for Driver State Monitoring Using Uwb Radar

This paper, describes a novel technique that detects a driver’s state using Ultra Wide Band(UWB) radar. UWB radar can measure both human vital signs and movement simultaneously with just one device. It is an improvement on existing Driver State Monitoring(DSM) systems because is much cheaper and lighter. And UWB radar can be used all day and night in all weather conditions without contacting th...
