Explosives detection research being conducted at Bangor University
Scientists at the School of Chemistry in Bangor University are working on novel sensor technology which will, it is hoped, soon be trialled in airports. The group at the School of Chemistry in Bangor is working as part of a European consortium called Nanosecure. The group consists of 26 partners both academic and industrial all working towards an integrated system which will detect airborne explosives, narcotics, chemical and biological agents. The system will also be able to decontaminate the air from chemical and bio agents should some be detected. It will do this by integrating with a building’s air-conditioning units. One of the partners in this consortium is Schiphol Airport where it is hoped the units will be trialled.
