New ‘Pollution Radar’ Developed To Provide Unprecedented Picture Of Urban Smog

Scientists and industrialists have invented a sophisticated new air quality measuring device that can act as a pollution radar over cities. A team from the Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, the University of Leicester and EADS Astrium are behind the technology that can be placed on satellites to provide unprecedented detail of gases in the atmosphere. The researchers are also developing ground-based instruments this year, which will be able to create 3D maps of atmospheric gases.
