The European PHOtoREactor was designed by a consortium of 7 research institutes from 4 countries within the EU.
The
main objectives of the Atmospheric Chemistry area:
-
Investigation
into the photochemical degradation of atmospheric pollutants and
study of generated products which present a potential risk for
health and environment.
-
Database
development with international projection,
-
Validation
and implementation of photochemical models.
-
Development
and validation of new instrumentation, as well as improvement of the
already existing one
-
Exploitation
of the EUPHORE smog chambers, for the development of research
projects managed by the Foundation, as well as for other national
and international institutions.
The scientific activity of the Foundation is articulated in four research programmes: Atmospheric Pollution, Air Pollutant Effect, Forest Research and Meteorology-Climatology.
