Environmental protection and the search for cleaner, more sustainable fuels are two of the most important concerns modern society is facing. This research aims to determine whether a transition from fossil fuels to the use of biofuels will significantly lead to reductions in air emissions of potentially harmful substances, and thus to healthier, sustainable development. In this regard, assessing combustion emissions from key sectors and developing and testing novel monitoring technologies, such as a graphene-based sampler that offers sustainable advantages over currently available options, can facilitate extensive monitoring and management of volatile and semi-volatile atmospheric pollutants in a cost effective and efficient manner.
