Abstract

‘Low-cost sensors’ have transformed outdoor air quality monitoring by increasing the pool of data available. These size and cost of these sensors give the average citizen the ability to measure air pollution on a personal basis, in the places that matter to them. While scientists and governments may have been cautious about the quality of such data at the beginning, there are now more evaluation studies and government initiatives to provide guidance around use of these sensors. Local governments are also installing these sensors as supplementary tools for monitoring air quality. This presentation explores the evolution of low-cost sensor use in environmental applications and whether and how this may translate into their use in occupational hygiene. Barriers and facilitators towards use of these sensors in hygiene will be discussed.

148a - 我们能否将空气污染界的低成本传感技术转化为工作场所卫生界的技术？

低成本传感器 "通过增加可用数据池改变了室外空气质量监测。这些传感器体积小、成本低，使普通公民有能力在与他们息息相关的地方测量个人的空气污染状况。虽然科学家和政府一开始可能会对这些数据的质量持谨慎态度，但现在有更多的评估研究和政府举措为这些传感器的使用提供指导。地方政府也在安装这些传感器，作为监测空气质量的辅助工具。本讲座将探讨低成本传感器在环境应用中的演变，以及是否和如何将其应用于职业卫生领域。还将讨论在卫生领域使用这些传感器的障碍和促进因素。

期刊介绍： About the Journal Annals of Work Exposures and Health is dedicated to presenting advances in exposure science supporting the recognition, quantification, and control of exposures at work, and epidemiological studies on their effects on human health and well-being. A key question we apply to submission is, "Is this paper going to help readers better understand, quantify, and control conditions at work that adversely or positively affect health and well-being?" We are interested in high quality scientific research addressing: the quantification of work exposures, including chemical, biological, physical, biomechanical, and psychosocial, and the elements of work organization giving rise to such exposures; the relationship between these exposures and the acute and chronic health consequences for those exposed and their families and communities; populations at special risk of work-related exposures including women, under-represented minorities, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups such as temporary, contingent and informal sector workers; the effectiveness of interventions addressing exposure and risk including production technologies, work process engineering, and personal protective systems; policies and management approaches to reduce risk and improve health and well-being among workers, their families or communities; methodologies and mechanisms that underlie the quantification and/or control of exposure and risk. There is heavy pressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do not usually publish papers that simply report local conditions without generalizable results. We are also unlikely to publish reports on human health and well-being without information on the work exposure characteristics giving rise to the effects. We particularly welcome contributions from scientists based in, or addressing conditions in, developing economies that fall within the above scope.
