Problem
Transport is one of the main sources of air pollution and takes about 25% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Europe.
Burning fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel releases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon oxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Additionally, ammonia (NH3) can be released by ammonia slip in selective catalytic reduction processes (SCR). Road vehicles like cars, trucks, busses and motorbikes account for nearly three quarters of GHG emissions that come from transport.
Efficient data gathering, management and processing requires the development of new types of monitoring systems for real-time and in situ measurements of the traffic emission.
MIRO MGA10 – GP product advantages
Measures up to ten gases simultaneously
- CO, NO, NO2, O3, NH3, CO2, N2O, H2O, CH4, and SO2.
One instrument for all gases
- lower power-consumption, space requirements, weight and maintenance costs
High time resolution
- Time-resolution with 1 Hz and 10 Hz allows to resolve rapidly changing concentrations of pollutants in the air, ideal for mobile and flux measurements.
