A concept of an automated function control for ambient aerosol measurements using mobility particle size spectrometers

A concept of an automated function control for ambient aerosol measurements using mobility particle size spectrometers

An automated function control unit was developed to regularly check the ambient particle number concentration derived from a mobility particle size spectrometer as well as its zero-point behaviour. The function control allows unattended quality assurance experiments at remote air quality monitoring...
