A technical proposal for active sensing monitoring activities in the area of Viggiano (south of Italy) and in rural and urban areas: LIDAR/DIAL techniques to detect the presence of pollutants and to control biomass combustion products like CO or PM10
Journal Title: Biomedicine & Prevention - Year 2018, Vol 2018, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work the authors propose a technical solution for active sensing monitoring in the area of Viggiano and, in general, in urban and rural areas that can be affected by the t diffusion of pollutants or by the dispersion of biomass combustion products like CO (Carbon monoxide) or PM10 (Particulate Matter). It can be obtained through the use of two laser techniques: LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) to detect pollutants in atmosphere and DIAL (Differential Absorption LIDAR) to identify those pollutants and the relative concentrations. The principles of work of these techniques, the systems developed and the results of experimental campaigns will be shown to demonstrate the potentialities of the laser applications for environmental survey in open atmosphere.
