摘要

A compact optical nanofiber sensor enables detection of 100nm particles in the field.This device improves our ability to track air quality with high spatiotemporal resolution. Air pollution has enormous health and economic costs,causing an estimated 7 million deaths per year1 and costing US$225 billion globally in 2013 according to the most recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Bank,respectively2.
