Abstract (German)

Today the most used low cost technologies for detecting nitrogen dioxide are affected by zero and sensitivity drift over time, have a limited resolution range and short lifetime. The purpose of the project is to develop a prototype of a compact high performance active station for detecting nitrogen dioxide in the air based on a novel technology intrinsically stable, manifesting high accuracy, high degree of compactness and long lifetime.
