Urban and indoor air quality in Dhaka

PM2.5 · PM10

How the work is done

Gravimetric filter sampling for mass, paired with chemical analysis of the same filter, so composition and concentration always refer to the same air. Continuous monitoring at both observatories. Time-resolved sampling to separate the morning traffic peak from the night-time accumulation under a low mixing layer.

Which records carry this theme is derived from each record’s title, not chosen by its authors. The rules are in data/research-themes.yaml and every tag stores the term that produced it, shown in the chip’s tooltip. Theses use the laboratory’s own “Area of Research” where it is specific enough. Three publications and one thesis match no theme and are deliberately left untagged.
