Abstract：
Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) devices are described as versatile, fast, accurate, and low-cost platforms for the handling, detection, characterization, and analysis of a wide range of suspended particles in water-based environments. However, for gas-based applications, particularly in atmospheric aerosols science, LoC platforms are rarely developed. This review summarizes emerging LoC devices for the classification, measurement, and identification of airborne particles, especially those known as Particulate Matter (PM), which are linked to increased morbidity and mortality levels from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. For these devices, their operating principles and performance parameters are introduced and compared while highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Discussing the current applications will allow us to identify challenges and determine future directions for developing more robust LoC devices to monitor and analyze airborne PM.
摘要：
芯片实验室(LoC)设备被描述为多功能的，快,准确,和低成本的处理平台，检测,表征，并分析了水基环境中各种悬浮颗粒。然而,对于基于气体的应用，特别是在大气气溶胶科学中，LoC平台很少开发。这篇综述总结了新兴的LoC设备的分类，测量,和识别空气中的颗粒，尤其是那些被称为颗粒物(PM)的物质，这与心血管和呼吸系统疾病的发病率和死亡率增加有关。对于这些设备，介绍了它们的工作原理和性能参数，并进行了比较，同时突出了它们的优缺点。讨论当前的应用将使我们能够识别挑战并确定开发更强大的LoC设备以监控和分析机载PM的未来方向。
