Filters capture the air's DNA

This Sveriges Radio article by Simon Magnusson highlights our work on how Sweden’s long-term air filter archives, originally designed for monitoring radioactive particles, can also capture environmental DNA from a wide range of organisms.

The piece describes how thousands of archived filters provide a unique resource for studying ecosystem change, species distributions, and environmental responses over time, including links to climate change, land use, and the spread of microbes and other biological signals.
