Environmental pH Evaluation in Exhibition Halls of Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC, Madrid)

Optical sol-gel environmental pH sensors have been applied for air evaluation in exhibition halls of the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid, Spain). Sensor synthesis and calibration was undertaken following a previous patent by some of the present authors. Monitoring was carried out for on...
