100 days, 100 nights: Sensor network reveals telltale patterns in neighborhood air quality

(DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) Black carbon -- a contributor to global warming and a pollutant of concern to residents in urban areas -- can be difficult to track. To address this problem, researchers at Berkeley Lab generated a technology that didn't exist. With more than 100 custom-built sensors installed for 100 days, the team created the largest black carbon monitoring network to be deployed in a single city, setting a foundation for the future of air quality monitoring.
