Institute of Physics - Centre for Science and Education of the Silesian University of Technology has purchased an analyser using CRDS (Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy) technologies, as part of the MONCO2 project.

The device will be used for detailed analysis of changes in the level of carbon dioxide, methane and isotopic composition of gases occurring in the atmospheric air in Gliwice, carried out with high resolution and accuracy. Currently, work is underway on testing equipment and interlaboratory calibration.

The first results of the measurement from 11th September (at 15.40) showed that the level of carbon dioxide in the air in Gliwice was 406 ppm and methane 2 ppm.

The purchase was co-financed by the State and the European Union within the framework of the European Funds for Silesia 2021-2027 (Fund for just Transition) for FESL.10.00 - European Funds for Transformation, for FESL.10.25 - Development of higher education in line with the needs of the green economy on the basis of the grant agreement No UDA-FESL.23.00-IZ.01-06C9/10-25.
