/ MOBILE MEASUREMENTS OF BLACK CARBON
"Mobile black carbon measurements - a step towards improved air quality"
04
Polluted air negatively impacts human health, reducing life expectancy in Europe by an average of one year and in the most polluted areas by up to three years. The smallest particles, PM2.5, are especially hazardous and can penetrate deep into the lung tissue. The smallest and most dangerous particles in aerosols are predominantly black carbon. We offer mobile measurements of black carbon to assess and reduce this health risk effectively.
Envirodual’s mobile black carbon measurements use advanced technology to monitor air pollution in detail. Using the Aethalometer AE33 from Aerosol, we measure black carbon concentrations and provide detailed data on pollution sources and their impact. This service is crucial for identifying high-pollution areas, evaluating residents' exposure, and understanding the contributions of various sources, such as traffic and biomass burning. Our approach ensures comprehensive coverage of urban and rural environments, providing insights essential for improving public health and protecting the environment.

The core functionalities of mobile black carbon measurements include:
Real-time data collection: Measurements are conducted multiple times daily to capture temporal changes.
Comprehensive route coverage: Routes are designed to cover diverse areas regarding building density, land use, pollution sources, and geographical features.
Detailed data analysis: Data on black carbon concentrations and biomass burning proportions are collected every second during the route, ensuring high-resolution insights.
Background measurements: Each measurement campaign includes 15-minute measurements at background locations to establish baseline pollution levels isolated from local sources.
FUNCTIONALITIES
Envirodual’s mobile black carbon measurements are versatile and applicable in various scenarios:
Urban air quality monitoring: Identifying hotspots and pollution sources in cities is essential for traffic management and urban planning.
Rural air quality assessment: Evaluating the impact of biomass burning on air quality in rural areas will aid in the development of cleaner heating solutions.
Health impact studies: Assessing exposure levels for vulnerable groups at specific locations, such as schools, kindergartens, health centres, and nursing homes.
Policy development: Providing data-driven insights for environmental policies and regulations to reduce air pollution and protect public health.
