newHICE

Within the HICE project, emissions from typical anthropogenic combustion sources are studied. At the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Rostock, a wide range of technical equipment is being studied: Boilers, furnaces, vehicle engines, and marine diesel engines. Emission aerosols are characterized in terms of their chemical and physical properties. Special attention is paid to the characterization of toxic aerosol components in the gas and particle phases of fresh and artificially aged emission aerosols. The deposition of size-separated emission particles from the different sources and aged aerosols in the human lung will be studied using the HPLDB model developed in the Sklorz Lab.
