Secondary organic Aerosols Production in pre and post-Industrial-like ENvironments : The Impact of biogenic and Anthropogenic emissions on cliMate

Project description

Simulating the pre-industrial atmosphere

The Paris Agreement has set out a global framework to limit the possibility of dangerous climate change. To this end, it is committed to holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. The EU-funded SAPIENTIAM project will identify new mechanisms that will help describe the pre-industrial atmospheric status and its change as a consequence of emissions caused by human activities related to industrialisation. Specifically, it will carry out a laboratory experiment to simulate a pre-industrial-like environment’s atmosphere, adding to it the biogenic emissions, followed by anthropogenic emissions such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
