Pollution-detecting drones launched in Poland

KATOWICE, POLAND (Reuters) — Scientists develop pollution-detecting drones to increase precision of measurements in one of Poland’s most polluted regions. Polish engineers have developed what they have called a “flying laboratory” – a drone-based platform to test air pollution in one of Poland’s dirtiest areas. Dust, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide concentrations can be measured remotely through the device. Engineers at the Central Mining Institute in Katowice say it can measure even the smallest concentration […]
