Abstract

During out work in a project related to European security, we have created various devices. One of them is a sensor for control of contaminations in the composition of fogs, which is first of its kind in the world. The development of such a sensor is important because in this project, artificially generated fogs with special additives are used for decontamination, and it is crucial to control the quantity of impurities in these fogs. In this work, different aspects of the operation of this sensor, its advantages and design considerations are discussed.
