Marc-André Gagnon, Field Application Scientist at Telops, talks to AzoOptics about the characterization of combustion processes using infrared radion and the future of infrared imaging in combustion sciences.
Litter in marine environments is a well-known, global issue. Microplastics can be particularly damaging to marine life as their size allows them to pass through sewage treatment plants unfiltered and be ingested by marine organisms, allowing them to enter and accumulate in the food chain.
