Fuss and Fumes – No. 39 (Jan. 2013) - a podcast by EMPA - Swiss Federal Laboratory for Materials Science & Technology

Industrialized countries face two problems: noise and airborne pollution. Empa researchers use facilities such as comprehensive 3D computer models and simulations to detect noise sources. The resulting noise maps then reveal where it is loudest in Switzerland i.e. where the situation is most critical. Besides noise, our quality of life is also being affected by greenhouse gases and airborne pollutants. Empa researchers are examining their spread in the atmosphere with analytical instruments and computer models.

And also in this issue: Acid from the A/C: Car cooling agent is harming the environment. --- An interview with nanocrystal expert and ERC award winner Maksym Kovalenko.
