Atmospheric-pollution monitoring through conductivity measurements

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Abstract

The possibility to correlate the density of gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere (SO2, NOx) and the state of air ionization, defined by the volumetric density of ions of different sizes and mobilities has been experimentally investigated. A description is given of a possible method of measurement of atmospheric pollution, based on such a correlation. Preliminary experiments are reported.
