The development of the ASRC Mobile Measurement Platform was supported primarily by a New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) University Consortium grant, along with internal ASRC state funds. The platform is built on a diesel-powered 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500 van equipped with a suite of fast–time-response advanced measurement instruments. In addition to these high-resolution systems, the mobile platform has a variety of permanent onboard measurement systems to measure traditional criteria pollutants and meteorology.
Over the years, with evolving field campaign needs and support from various research projects, the instrumentation, power systems, and overall observational capabilities of the mobile platform have been continuously upgraded and expanded.

SPECIAL NOTE: Explore Your Air: UAlbany ASRC Mobile Air Quality Lab Public Outreach Tour
Our research group at Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC) at the University at Albany is planning to launch a public outreach tour featuring our Mobile Air Quality Laboratory—a fully equipped research vehicle used to study air pollution, atmospheric chemistry, and extreme weather-related pollution events.
During school or community visits, participants can explore the mobile lab, see real-time air-quality measurements, and learn how scientists study trace gases, aerosols, and local meteorology. The program is designed to spark curiosity, support STEM education, and help the public better understand the air we breathe.
The mobile lab is available for:
K–12 school visits and STEM classes
Community science events
Public outreach festivals
Summer camps and after-school programs
Undergraduate clubs and campus science days
If you are a teacher, community organizer, or event coordinator interested in hosting a mobile-lab demonstration, please contact:
