This patented technique is based on a flora
study, according to the nitrogen oxides sensitive species. It was
finalized in association with the Paris City Council and allows
to differentiate the atmospheric average content in nitrogen oxides.

Used experimentally on the whole important
metropolis, it enters an active phase at the industrial survey.
A biomonitoring from the initial data is possible in identical conditions
to those of the IGQA®.
