Laboratory Performance Evaluation of a Low-Cost Electrochemical Formaldehyde Sensor.

Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen and an important indoor and outdoor air pollutant. However, current strategies for formaldehyde measurement, such as chromatographic and optical techniques, are expensive and labor intensive. Low-cost gas sensors have been emerging to provide effective measurement of air pollutants.

Comparing Aerosol Generation in Human and Animal Tissues During Common Otolaryngology Procedures.

Objective: To determine whether hamster and human tissues generate similar amounts of aerosolized particles using common otolaryngology surgical techniques.
