UAV-Based Monitoring and AFM Analysis of Airborne Pollutants

A drone-based platform was developed at the Moldova State University (MSU) in the research laboratory Environmental Physics and Modeling Complex Systems (ePhysMCS Lab) for the observation and air analysis for pollution, chemical and radiological contaminations [1], [2]. Software application was used in connection with UAV-based measuring station for computational modeling of environmental factors [2], which facilitates the analysis and interpretation of the monitoring results. Results on pollutants detection, real-time data recording, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) samples analysis for particulate matter are provided in this article.
