Development of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for in-situ characterization of combustion source emissions
Villa, Tommaso Francesco (2017) Development of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for in-situ characterization of combustion source emissions. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.
Description
This research developed an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System for atmospheric pollution assessment, contributing new methodology and knowledge to the fields of air quality, human health and human exposure. This system was tested, validated and employed to characterize gaseous and particle pollutant concentration generated by traffic from a motorway in open space within the atmospheric column, and emitted from a ship while operating at sea, to develop ship emission factors. It allows measurements of air pollution under conditions where sampling with the existing techniques is not feasible or poses too high risk.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
