Dear Anil,

I agree with Frank that your work is quite interesting. It is sure to stimulate further research questions. One that I will add is derived from Frank's comment about collecting soot on paper. If that collection works, perhaps the camera could be on the BACK side of the paper, measuring what actually comes through the soot and paper. There are some special papers with highly consistent transmission of light.

Congratulations on some innovative appropriate technology.

*Dear Anil,*

*Very interesting. *

*I am sure during the research you have tried many things so I ask did you try using white construction paper that could easily be replaced?*

*And did you try pointing the camera 90 degrees from the light pattern to see if it is sensitive enough to measure the reflected light directly from the airborne particles? Just wondering.*

**

*And how do we relate the gained weight on the plate to the mass per meter of air? *

*I just down loaded the free app you mention to my new i-phone and am amazed at what these phones can do. Yesterday I discovered it can measure heart rate! *

Hello stovers,

We have developed a simple method of soot measurement. www.nariphaltan.org/sootpaper.pdf <http://www.nariphaltan.org/sootpaper.pdf>

Feedback, comments and suggestions are welcome.
