Detection and Differentiation of Liquid and Solid Particles in Ambient Air

Aerosols contain liquid and/or solid particles, which can pose a significant risk to humans. In order to detect these potential hazards at an early stage, this paper shows the possibility of measuring aerosols with an adapted particle sensor system (ProxiCube (R)) and displaying the liquid and solid components separately. To demonstrate the reproducibility of the measurements, samples are monitored simultaneously with two ProxiCubes and a well-established reference system.

Automated summary

This study discusses the possibility of using the ProxiCube (R) particle sensor system to measure the liquid and solid components of aerosols, demonstrating the reliability of measurements through comparison with a traditional reference system.
