Detection and Monitoring of Nanostructures in Ecological Pollution

Abstract

As a leading contributor to persistent and deadly health conditions and diseases affecting millions of people each year, we present early findings of our collaborative investigations to track and mitigate air emissions. Using gas sensors focused on nanotechnology, emission is tracked at many ground stations. The sensor device is compact, reliably delivers instantaneous concentrations of ground emissions, and can be quickly distributed to disseminate real-time pollution data to a web server that provides a topological summary of the locations tracked. We also employ high-spatial and spectral resolution remote sensing technology to model urban emissions using satellite imagery and image processing. One of the aims of this research is to establish a specific capacity to collect, view and assimilate these useful data sources in order to reliably measure urban emissions by real-time monitoring using commercial sensors produced using nanofabrication and satellite imaging technologies. In order to foster public understanding and set policy goals for air quality in polluted regions, this interactive method would be useful for prediction processes. We present our sorption outcomes for advanced sorbents focused on nanomaterial’s that have been proven successful in extracting cadmium and arsenic from water sources.
