DUVAS
Differential Ultra Violet Absorption Spectroscopy

The Differential UltraViolet Absorption Spectroscopy (DUVAS) instrument is a ground based instrument that can also be used on mobile platforms to study air quality. DUVAS uses light from the ultraviolet spectrum to measure the quantity of different gaseous species in ppb. DUVAS is capable of a measurement frequency of 1 s. DUVAS is compatible with an Android app designed to show the concentrations measured by the instrument over a map or satellite imagery.
