Abstract

The aim of this project is to provide a precise and feasible measuring technology, for which the measurement performance of low cost sensors will be adapted to liquid particles/droplets by standardization with laboratory measurement devices and identification of influencing parameters. The suitability of liquid particle/droplet measurement for wide range aerosol spread monitoring will be investigated subsequently by measurements in different environments.
