Summary
Monitoring of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), including their atmospheric concentrations and isotopic composition, has become more than a scientific curiosity. Atmospheric physics and advanced analytical technologies play a crucial role in this process, enabling precise measurements and detailed analysis of air composition. One of the institutions conducting advanced research in this area is the Institute of Physics – CSE at the Silesian University of Technology, where the MONCO2 project is currently being carried out. The initial tests and measurements of the concentrations of major greenhouse gases are underway, along with analyses of their isotopic composition. This will facilitate the identification of their sources and the modeling of atmospheric processes in future
