With our climate changing fast, triggering concerns among scientists on the effects it would have on the earth’s life in the coming years, they seem to target even the most brazen and the remotest zones of the planet.
For a similar cause, ‘Pearl’ — Polar Environment Atmosphere Research Laboratory – stands upright amidst the sweeping winds with scientists braving the elements here believe that in coming years it should help reveal vital clues about our changing planet.
Pearl should produce invaluable data on the key questions of our time, expects the project manager Pierre Fogal.
The range of instruments that are at work in the freezing Arctic air is large enough and seems to prove effective towards the cause. The laboratory assesses the air quality by examining the concentrations of different gases, which also includes the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and the aerosol levels.
Exhaust fumes and chimney emissions from various cities and factories all of which make their way North provides the best motoring of the polluted planet.
