Lab-on-a-Drone: ACS’s Sky-Tech Unveils the Future of Pollution Monitoring!

On September 6, 2023, a team of Brazilian scientists published in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal Analytical Chemistry a research study that unveiled a groundbreaking “Lab-on-a-Drone” system. This innovative system is designed to detect and analyze air pollutants, specifically the pungent hydrogen sulfide gas, while in mid-air. The importance of monitoring air quality is underscored by the health risks associated with polluted air, such as asthma. Traditional air quality monitoring devices are stationary, often positioned just a few feet above the ground. However, this poses a challenge as airborne contaminants can drift away, escaping detection. The “lab-on-a-drone” offers a … Continue reading Lab-on-a-Drone: ACS’s Sky-Tech Unveils the Future of Pollution Monitoring!
