Video description
Passive tropospheric ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ammonia samplers are presented in a 15 minutes long educational documentary film. Monitoring those gases is of high importance to a wider public due to the environment pollution and impacts on the forest vegetation they cause.
The whole process, from preparation of the reagent solutions and analytical filters, packaging and shipping was done at the Laboratory of Forest Ecology of the Slovenian Forestry Institute. Furthermore, the procedures for quality assurance at the field work are presented, followed by the procedures in the laboratory - preparation of the samples and analysis procedures, done as well at the Slovenian Forestry Institute. The last part shows the analysis followed by the evaluation of measurements and graphical presentation of results that can be used for various reports.
Ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and ammonia are sampled using passive samplers according to instructions and procedures which are the result of more than 10 years of experience with passive sampling of air pollution. Slovenian Forestry Institute performs measurements of air quality in and around forests. The main research objects are Level II intensive monitoring plots within ICP-Forests international monitoring network. Moreover, in last two years intense research is ongoing on the plots in urban and peri-urban forests in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
