What integration of technologies are required to do radioactive aerosol monitoring to ensure overlap with inactive pollution aerosol monitoring?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
