Devices

The SDEA has several measuring devices and optical devices that can be used for hands-on learning at schools and organisations in order to better understand cross-cutting topics such as noise, air and energy pollution.

Below you’ll find all the information you need about the measuring devices.

In case of loss or damage to the materials, the responsible center, entity, or person must cover the cost of replacement. In the event of damage to the devices, they will be responsible for the costs incurred for the necessary repairs.
