    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Grisna Isabel Prensa; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The airborne pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) and claims about 1.6 million deaths annually (WHO, 2022). READ MORE

  3. 2. Testing aerosol vertical profiling methods with portable instruments on unmanned and manned aircraft

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Grace Soroka; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Aerosols; Vertical Profile; Black Carbon; PM2.5; Nanoparticles; UAV; Drone; Master degree thesis; 30 credits in Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis employed several portable sensors on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and manned aircraft in order to test new methods of measuring vertical profiles of aerosol particles and contribute to knowledge of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere. More data in this area is required to improve atmospheric modelling and future climate scenarios. READ MORE

  4. 3. Diffuse dust at Boliden Bergsöe investigated through X-ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

    Author : Linnea Savér; Marcus Norlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Multi-metals monitoring; On-line monitoring; Aerosols; Diffuse dust; Environmental management; Secondary lead smelting; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Boliden Bergsöe operates a secondary lead smelter for recycling of lead-acid batteries, located in the industrial area of Landskrona. Measurements to monitor levels of airborne particles have been conducted in several locations in Landskrona since 1977. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of methods for detection of radioactive aerosols of special importance for the ESS facility

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Martin Carlström; [2021]
    Keywords : alpha spectrometry; radioactive aerosols; spectrum simulation;

    Abstract : With the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) steadily approaching the operational phase, an environmental monitoring program will soon be implemented with the purpose of monitoring emissions. With regard to radiation safety, it is highly important to monitor alpha emitting radionuclides in aerosol form. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analysis of the Stratospheric Aerosol Load After the 2019 Raikoke Eruption

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Felicia Carlborg; [2021]
    Keywords : Volcanic Climate Impact; Raikoke; CALIPSO; Satellite; Stratospheric Aerosols; Radiative Forcing; Aerosol Optical Depth; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF).
