  1. 1. Air quality around preschools in Gothenburg: an evaluation of measurement methods

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Emma Forsmalm; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : low-cost sensors; passive diffusion samplers; pick-ups and drop-offs; regulatory measurements;

    Abstract : In this study the air quality around four different preschools, chosen to represent different local traffic environments, was measured and the measurement methods used were evaluated. The aim was to compare the information retrieved using different methods, discuss the possible applications of them and finally see if more specific activities, in this case pick-ups and drop-offs, could be seen in the data retrieved.
