LAB EXPERIMENT:
1. EQUIPMENT:
We used similar devices as shown in figure, known as SO2
and NO2 gas monitor.
It measures the amount of criteria air pollutants in air or in
any specific environment of our concern to control.
The device has 9V battery and a slot to transfer data to
computer.
NO2 gas monitor has measurement range of 0-50 ppm,
while SO2 gas monitor has measurement range of 0-100
ppm.
There are 2 alarms in device
1. Pre concentration alarm
2. Main alarm

2. WORKING METHOD:
The device has a sensor that sense the gases content in relevant environment and gives
the reading. If measurements are out of range, the following representations are
shown.
(+ + + +) if exceeds
(- - - -) if surpass

3. TESTING METHOD:
When 2 small sized buttons are simultaneously tapped for 3 seconds, the device is
turned off. And the main large sized button is used to turn it on.
The device is then taken to the environment where the concentration of NO2 or SO2
(depends upon the type of gas monitor) is to be measured.
The device then tells the reading automatically by measuring through the sensors in
few minutes.

4. RESULTS:
1. SO2 concentration came out to be 28 ppm in sample of fuel combustion from bike.
2. NO2 concentration came out to be 0.3 ppm in sample of fuel combustion from bus.
