Gather real-time information of the concentration of ENMs in outdoor areas
Francisco Alacreu, CEAM
A presentation held on 24 October 2017 in Lancaster, UK during the NanoMONITOR 2nd Stakeholders’ Day: Safe Nanotechnology – Exposure assessment, risk management and regulatory challenges. An overview of technical specifications defined for the prototype Nanomonitor during the design stage was given. The presentation included a short description of the functionalities in terms of measured variables, programmation of the measured period and specifications to access data files. Our goal is to evaluate the impact of human activity in terms of particles in nano range, and since it can be considered season-dependent measurments, will be done in summer and winter to take into account the meteorological conditions. Nanomonitors will be installed in four outdoor environments (suburban, traffic, industrial and rural) in some of the Air Quality network stations in the region of Comunidad Valenciana. Concentration of the relevant pollutants (O3, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, etc), as well meteorological data, will be availabe to check for correlations between these parameters and nanoparticle concentrations.
