Real-Time Detection of Toxic Dusts
Growing mobility, globalized world trade, and the rapid increase in online shipping pose enormous technological and logistical challenges for the detection of hazardous substances during the transport of goods, baggage handling, and transit. In addition to the threat posed by explosives, the illegal transport of synthetic opioids, for example, has increased in recent years in the wake of the so-called "opioid crisis."
In the HazarDust project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research, we are developing single-particle mass spectrometry-based methods for the real-time detection of residues and dusts of such security-relevant substances with our partners ParteQ GmbH, the German Federal Criminal Police Office and Photonion GmbH.
Co-workers: Paul Haubenwallner, Ellen Iva Rosewig, Dr. Robert Irsig
