RUI: Acquisition of Air Pollution Sampling Equipment

该奖项支持获得大气化学和气溶胶仪器。这套设备将包括一个收集颗粒物的空气采样器；一个微天平和离子色谱仪，以及一个气溶胶碳质定量仪器；测量臭氧、二氧化硫、氮氧化物、一氧化碳和二氧化碳的气相浓度的仪器；以及测量温度、湿度、压力、风速和风向的便携式气象塔。首席研究人员将使用这一工具进行本科生教学，包括加州圣何塞和夏威夷火山国家公园的实地项目。

This RUI (Research in Undergraduate Institutions) award supports the acquisition of atmospheric chemistry and aerosol instrumentation. The package will consist of an air sampler to collect particulate matter; a microbalance, and ion chromatograph, and an instrument to quantify aerosol carbonaceous matter; instruments to measure the gas phase concentrations of ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and dioxide; and a portable meteorological tower to measure the temperature, humidity, pressure and wind speed and direction. The principal investigator will use this instrumentation for undergraduate instruction, including field projects at San Jose, California, and in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
