Research abstract
We propose an innovative microchip array detection technology for combined chemical and particulate detection in the context of air quality monitoring in aircraft cockpits. The proposed technology will be able to identify and quantify particulates according size and identify and quantify volatile chemical pollutant sources (e.g. fuel vapors, hydraulic fluids) according to their “smell fingerprint.” Our approach is to integrate laser diode based light scattering particle detection arrays (LSPDA’s), with Owlstone’s breakthrough microchip chemical detection technology to provide a single, highly compact packaged unit with combined chemical and particle detection capability.
