Nano-Tera research activities: Environment

Environmental monitoring is of paramount importance to the future of our societies. Nano-Tera projects address pollution monitoring in urban areas with open sensor networks or in biotopes using sensing techniques based on living cells reactions to pollutants.

The ultimate goals are to provide platforms for a better understanding of environmental phenomena and their effects on individuals and communities.

Representing the worldwide challenge for the survival of humanity and our surroundings, projects in this area of the Nano-Tera.ch also include research on environmentally friendly transportation systems.
