As part of an exciting study, the University of Tübingen has used a TRACE-GAS gas sensor to measure NO2 on a drone. This use on a drone is particularly noteworthy, as air pollutants were previously mainly recorded at ground measuring stations. The measurement in the air enables an improved prediction of pollutant distributions and the verification of measures to reduce pollutants. There is also a demand for “flying” sensors to localize gas leaks in public gas networks. Methane sensors (CH4) from the TRACE-GAS technology kit can help to speed up the search for leaks.
This innovative approach not only helps to avoid wasting energy, but also improves air quality. In addition, authorities in coastal cities are also striving for airborne monitoring of ship exhaust fumes. In contrast to existing monitoring sensor technology, which is already mandatory for ships, a sensor on a drone makes it possible to measure exhaust gases directly at the ship’s stack. This rules out possible tampering and enables measurements to be taken as soon as the ship enters port.
