Optimized Mosaic Method for Accurate Measurement of Soot Concentration Indirect Method

Abstract

Global air pollution poses health risks. Soot is a major contributor to warming and pollution. Measuring soot is key to mitigating emissions. This study proposes an empirical method using markers to indirectly gauge soot levels. The Mosaic method was tested against conventional techniques with over 50 samples. This method utilizes markers to collect impurities in the air, employing the µ/m³, m(g), and the newly devised Mosaic method. All results underwent standard statistical processing, enabling a comparison between the new method (Mosaic) and conventional techniques used.
