To do that lots of data needs to be collected and analyzed, including road dust load, to understand how much is produced, effectiveness of mitigation measures and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This is a 60 ECTS MS project.\u00a0 If the student is beginning the MS studies it would be possible to work on this alongside courses to begin with, or full time if their required course work is finished. This project will be partially funded.<\/p>\n<h2>Role of the MS student<\/h2>\n<p>Take part in and lead sampling of road dust load using a WDS (Wet Dust Sampler).
