loading VOC standards onto TD tubes to check calibration in study of air pollution from gas flaring

using an infrared (FT-IR) imaging microscope to identify microplastic fibres washed from fabric samples

Another run of air pollution samples on TD tubes to keep ‘Marvin’ busy for the weekend

Collecting liquid nitrogen to cool our infrared microscope to -196 Celsius (almost as cold as the surface of Neptune) so we can identify tiny microplastics in environmental samples
