Scientists to create new ‘chemical noses’ to rid the environment of industrial pollutants

Scientists from five European countries have joined forces to develop next-generation ‘chemical noses’ to remove industrial pollutants from the environment. The European Commission allocated 2.9 million euros to finance the Horizon2020 FET-OPEN project INITIO that will bring together researchers from TalTech and five other universities as well as experts from Interspectrum OÜ operating in Estonia and an Italian company in an international research project.
