Instrumental park• IRTF (in situ) + multi-reflection system → Measurement of trace gases of aerosols |
Applications
• Study of photochemical processes in the atmosphere under controlled and realistic conditions
• Measuring air quality and its impacts, from local to global pollution :
o Indoor pollution (local and health impact)
o Atmospheric aerosol formation (local and health impact)
o Deposition of pollutants on the natural environment and on crops such as pesticides (impacts on biodiversity and agriculture)
o Effect on the climate of VOC degradation products, including fluorinated products (global impact)
→ Openness to the European and international scientific communities
