Taking Air Quality Research to New Heights
Drone-based Aerosol Monitoring
Aerosol researchers often need particle data from places that are dangerous or impossible to access on foot, like above industrial chimneys, near wildfire smoke, or over densely built urban areas. By mounting the OmniCount™ Portabel Water-based Condensation Particle Counter on a drone, research groups can measure vertical particle gradients and assess emission dispersion directly at the source. This approach gives them access to critical data that ground-based instruments couldn’t capture, enabling a more complete understanding of real-world exposure risks.
