Equipment of the measuring vehicle

The measuring vehicle of the IfGG allows measurements of five gaseous air pollutants: O3, SO2, NOx, CO and hydrocarbons. Additionally it is equipped with a weather station to realize measurements helping to understand the variability in concentrations of these gases and the propagation of pollutant emissions. Thus, wind direction and velocity, air temperature, humidity and air pressure are be recorded.
