A new slurry gas monitor is currently in the testing phase at Queen’s University Belfast. The monitor, no bigger than an iPad, is a portable device designed to keep farmers safe from harmful gases and particles.

Devised by electrical engineers at Queen’s, led by Dr Hamza Shakeel, with input from the university’s School of Biological Sciences, the monitor has so far been a success in testing.
