Advanced Measurements of Air Contamination, Noise and Vibrations

Overview

What you will study

The goal of the Advanced Measurements of Air Contamination, Noise and Vibrations course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology provide the student with in-depth knowledge of measurement and analysis techniques and variations of these with respect to air pollution, mainly organic and non-organic particles, and sounds and vibrations that should be analyzed are measured and analyzed in different ways depending on the work and the workplace where the risk assessment is carried out.

Learning activities

• The teaching consists of lectures and workshops as well as compulsory exercises in the form of seminars and webinars. 

• During laborations and in a project, you will practice and carry out measurements. In addition to scheduled learning activities, there is time for your own studies. 

• Perform measurements and risk assessments of the above-mentioned factors in various workplaces. Describe and justify the choice of different measurement strategies; choice of measurement and analysis method, number of measuring points, number of included subjects, and measurement time.

• Discuss scientific articles on the above mentioned measurement strategies.

• Be able to interpret and draw conclusions based on the measurement results, and compare results from different measurement and analysis methods.

• Describe the Swedish and European regulations that regulate the above-mentioned factors and reflect on the background to how current limit levels have been set; and if there are occasions when a lower level of risk should be applied.
