<b>科大研發流動空氣污染測量車<br>2007-04-15</b><P>如果要知道后海灣一帶的空氣污染，會否因為西部通道通車惡，除了問環保署外，還可以問問科大的研究人員。科大研發了一部流動空氣污染測量車，去到那裡，監測到那裡。<p>
這輛不是普通的客貨車，透過車頂的管道，抽取空氣樣本，可以一邊行走，一邊量度二氧化硫、臭氧等空氣污染物濃度，天文台定點空氣監測站量度不到的地方，它都可以量度得到：「隧道很多車，但如果有這輛車，一邊行駛到終點，首先可以比較方便量度隧道空氣質素，第二，我們可以以整條隧道，由起點到終點，不同路段和地點收集數據。」<p>
車內配備了大氣監測儀，分析空氣樣本，配合全球衛星定位，數據即時經電腦以圖表顯示：「過了清水灣，因為這路段，汽車使用密度較低，可以看見空氣污染情況低很多…紅色的一段，因為剛才上斜，車的排放多了，上斜路段交通較繁忙。」<p>
上個月馬拉松賽，科大亦應邀出動這輛車在賽道，即時量度空氣污染物濃度，他們希望籌集更 多資金，日後應用到不同的研究，他們亦會利用這輛車，到灣仔及銅鑼灣交通較繁忙的路面，收集空氣污染物數據，再作研究和分析<p><a href=’http://ihome.ust.hk/~keckchan/’ target=_blank>http://ihome.ust.hk/~keckchan/</a>
