We document how gas price fluctuations have a heterogeneous pass-through to euro area prices depending on the underlying shock driving them.

Key Points: 
  • We document how gas price fluctuations have a heterogeneous pass-through to euro area prices depending on the underlying shock driving them.
  • Supply shocks, moreover, are found to pass through to all components of euro area inflation – producer prices, wages and core inflation, which has implications for monetary policy.

Hence, precise and compact HM detection technologies are essential to assess their concentrations in the environment and screen for health issues arising from their pollution.

Key Points: 
  • Hence, precise and compact HM detection technologies are essential to assess their concentrations in the environment and screen for health issues arising from their pollution.
  • In a new study now, a team of researchers from Korea, led by Professor Seung-Cheol Chang from the Department of Optics and Mechatronics Engineering at the College of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at Pusan National University, comprehensively reviewed the recent developments in electrochemical sensors for heavy metal detection.
  • There is, therefore, an urgent need for portable electrochemical sensors that are easy to use, cost-effective, and suitable for rapid on-site detection," explains Prof. Chang.
  • The team focused exclusively on miniaturized electrochemical sensors that are suitable for on-site detection of HM pollutants.
