Project Description and Objectives:
There are three observation sites for monitoring air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2, SO2 and O3) in plantation stands in the city center (Zhongshan Park), the outer-loop highway (Jinhai Park), and the rural area (Chongming Island) in Shanghai. With this data, the concentrations of air pollutants and the variation along the urban-rural gradient will be analyzed and compared with those in other parts of Shanghai. The results would show the extent of the air pollutant concentrations that are reduced inside different plantation stands.
Eligibility Requirements:
Basic or brief knowledge of biology, environmental science, or ecology.
Basic statistics knowledge.
An inquisitive mind.
Proper writing skills.
Main Tasks:
Checking the equipment and machines in the stations.
Analyzing the data of the air pollutants at the three monitoring sites.
Comparing the results with those obtained from the other parts of Shanghai.
