1. Project overview

This feasibility study aimed at demonstrating that a relatively simple, portable apparatus (requiring low electrical power and that could be easily controlled electronically) could be used to detect atmospheric peroxy radicals, with possible applications to urban pollution monitoring.

See the project summary at the Central URGENT Web Site.
