Wikipedia: Lovelock invented the
electron capture
detector, which ultimately assisted
in discoveries about the persistence of CFCs and their role
in stratospheric ozone depletion.
Lovelock's invention of the
electron capture
detector in 1957 first enabled scientists to measure CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and other pollutants
in the atmosphere, leading,
in many ways, to the birth of the modern environmental movement.
Lovelock was also one of the first people to discover a link between CFCs and the depletion
in the ozone layer through the invention of the
electron capture
detector, a device that detects atoms and molecules
in gas.
From Wikipedia: «After the development of his
electron capture
detector,
in the late 1960s, Lovelock was the first to detect the widespread presence of CFCs
in the atmosphere.»
