Arctic BioAir Sampling Opportunities request

Dear Colleagues, in order to generate as broad geographical coverage as possible, we are seeking opportunities to send sampling equipment or join short trips with others to take air samples throughout the archipelago. If anyone thinks they may be able to help, please get in touch any time (david.pearce@northumbria.ac.uk). The sample equipment is about the size of a toaster/microwave (or we can bring it). Many thanks in advance.
