The first field work (Sarmasel everlasting fires)

In June 2012 with my colleges I went to a filed campaign to the Sarmasel everlasting fires ("EF" for short), located in Mures county. Here we measured methane, carbon dioxide and radon fluxes to see the link between the three gases. I also tried detecting other gases like SO2 and NO2.

 Everybody working:)

 

After a hard day work, we needed to retreat the steel tubes. :)
