panoma1 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks like some form of filter? Maybe air/pollution monitoring?.....just a guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Like panoma1 says it looks like air pollution monitoring system.it looks like it is only fixed temporarily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Aliens. Or, as has been already said, air pollution monitor. You can see the temp and humidity measuring coils (lower cylinder) and the top thing is a dust sampling head. Then the big block filter in the middle is for air samples for things like carbon monoxide, Hydrogen Sulphide, Benzene and the likes. I think some of the more sophisticated ones are attached to CCTV cameras, that can pick up individual vehicles' pollution. Spikes in air nasties are registered with passing traffic, so if your lorry's particularly bad, then they're gonna know! I read somewhere that Islington's got that sort I think.

figgy Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 It's a government listening device, it's reporting back on everything you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If it's in Bristol it would make sense that it's monitoring air quality as there are people making noises there about congestion charges and low emission zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the council seeing how far they can spread their low emission zones. The Mayor is a waste of space so will no doubt claim this as one of his initiatives.
