The test bed offers several possibilities to test, for example, composite wood products, paints and furniture, with regard to chemical emissions in tailor-made environments.

This nationally unique testbed offers opportunities for early and strategic decisions before and during product development, through optimized evaluations of the materials in the testbed.

The testbed includes a number of emission chambers of different sizes and capacities, conditioning rooms, analysis instruments, and experts with a longterm and wide experience in the field. 

 

We may set up unique, non-standardized tests, such as tests of complete vehicle interiors in emission chambers and tests of emissions from 3D printers.

Mätteknik för emissioner till luft

Europakommissionen beräknar att ca 400 000 dödsfall och kostnader på 300 – 949 miljarder € per år kan relateras till luftföroreningar. Nya direktiv från EU kommer att införas inom kort som skall minska emissionerna av luftföroreningar. Detta projekt syftar till att utveckla mättekniker som kan användas vid införandet av dessa nya direktiv.

Syfte och mål

Detta projekt syftar till att utveckla mättekniker som möjliggör införandet av nya EU-direktiv som begränsar emissionerna av skadliga ämnen till atmosfären.    

Utmaning

Europakommissionen beräknar att ca 400 000 dödsfall och kostnader på 300 – 949 miljarder € per år kan relateras till luftföroreningar. Emissioner av partiklar från småskalig förbränning i vedpannor och kaminer är den största källan till partiklar i atmosfären i EU. Ungefär 64% av befolkningen i städerna i EU beräknas vara utsatt för partikelhalter över gränsvärdet som rekommenderas av WHO.  

Lösning

Detta projekt kommer att skapa en grund för att uppdatera standardmetoder som används för emissionsmätningar av luftföroreningar. Nya mättekniker skall utvecklas och möjligheter till standarder för nya ämnen (NH3, formaldehyd, HF, PM, SVOC, OGC, PAH) skall undersökas. Utöver detta skall mätosäkerheter i flödesmätning utredas.    

Effekt

Pålitliga, jämförbara och korrekta mätvärden är viktiga för att kunna följa upp de nya striktare emissionskraven som kommer införas i EU. Nya och bättre mättekniker gynnar både industrin och forskning. Om de nya kraven efterföljs kommer de negativa effekterna av luftföroreningar inom EU att minska.

On-site forensic analysis of biosamples

iForensic kit

The goal is to demonstrate a cost effective, portable kit for forensic field analysis of e.g. blood stain age or illicit substances. The 4-year project is carried out with a joint effort from RISE, KTH and NFC (Swedish National Forensic Centre).

Aim and goal
The goal of this PhD project is to bridge science fiction and reality for crime scene investigation. The work focuses on sensing challenges defined by NFC utilizing nanophotonic design, fabrication and integration based on the joint and complementary competences and facilities of the partners.

Challenge
Analysis of evidence traces requires instruments with high sensitivity and specificity. Today's instruments can in most cases only be used in a laboratory environment, due to both size and complexity of the analysis. First responders at a crime scene are thus not equipped to make other than very crude on-site sample analysis, which results in a high number of samples being sent to the lab for further analysis, only a small part of which may turn out to be of any value.

Solution
Nanophotonics has a great potential to lead to portable equipment that could streamline crime scene investigations. While the targeted sensors, e.g. for age analysis of blood stains, are not expected to render existing lab analysis obsolete, they will rather help to indicate which samples to send for further analysis as well as to give a first impression of the situation at hand.

Effect
The possibility to analyse traces directly at the crime scene is expected to result in a higher resource efficiency and quicker turnaround times, as well as provide information directly to the preliminary investigation and thereby benefit the entire criminal justice system by shortening the investigation times.
