Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a cheap alternative to sense pollution values in a certain area due to their flexibility and ability to carry small sensing units. In a previous work, we proposed a solution, called Pollution-driven UAV Control (PdUC), to allow UAVs to autonomously trace pollutant sources, and monitor air qualit...
Nanocarb is a snapshot imaging interferometer concept dedicated to the measurement of CO2. Thanks to its very compact design, it is a good candidate for small satellites, which would pave the way to a constellation of satellites to monitor emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gases from space. Nanocarb is based on a multiaperture design, with a ste...
In situ aircraft measurements of NO, NO_y, CO and O_3 performed on board the DLR research aircraft Falcon are used to examine the interhemispheric differences for midlatitudes during local autumn. The observations were part of the INCA-campaign (Interhemispheric differences in cirrus properties due to anthropogenic emissions). Mayor deployment site...

In this thesis a device was developed, which offers the possibility, to measure continuously the odour emissions at the source. The device is based on achemosensor array on the base of six oscillating quartz resonators. In order to increase the sensitivity in the range of the odour-thresholds, an on-line compatible enrichment unit was development, ...

Apart from the classic microbiological methods, other methods are available which are less costly and time-consuming and which are suited for a preliminary assessment of the potential hazard in the context of screening tests. These methods were investigated, and new measuring parameters were developed which can be used for assessing the potential h...

6.000 houses in nine federal states of Germany were acquired for radon measurements in dwellings. In each building two detectors should be exposed -one in the living room in the ground floor and one in the basement. Until now, 4.260 measurements in the basement, 4.971 measurements in the ground floor, 825 measurements in the first floor and 58 meas...
