Description
The aim of the project was to advance the scientific understanding of human exposure to air pollution. This included investigation of emerging monitors to measure personal exposure to air pollution in urban microenvironments, studies of ultrafine particles (UFPs) in a variety of microenvironments in Accra, Ghana and the assessment of schoolchildren's exposure to UFPs in this city. The thesis demonstrated the applicability conditions of commercially available low-cost sensors and mobile devices for monitoring personal exposure to air pollution and exposed the drivers behind high personal exposure and poor state of air quality in Accra.
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.
