Air Quality Labortories


About the Laboratories

The air quality laboratories in the department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering are equiped with state-of-art instrumentation for air quality studies in gas and particulate matter emission mornitoring, modeling and mitigation. By the very nature of this kind of research, the air quality labs are located both indoors and outdoors. Specifically, the laboratories include:

Aerosol research laboratory
Air quality engineering laboratory
Air quality research field/mobile laboratory
