Project: Development of innovative technologies to improve the air quality

2019-04-15 – 2025-04-14

Abstract: A good air quality in indoor and outdoor environments is of paramount importance to keep the risks to health and the environment as low as possible. This research will focus on the development of innovative technologies for purifying complex gas flows (various components, low and varying concentrations, non-polar compounds). Advanced online mass spectrometric techniques (PTRTOFMS and SIFT-MS) will be used for this research.
