AIRTHINGS

Fostering resource efficiency and climate change resilience through community based Air Quality Internet of Things

Air pollution has been one of the first environmental problems to be addressed by the EU, in that sense clean air is considered essential to good health and a basic human need. Currently the primary responsibility for complying and monitoring of the air quality is assigned to respective environmental ministries and agencies, although it is evident that all public bodies, including regional and local authorities, must take coherent measures to secure clean air.

Why AIRTHINGS ?

The overall objective of the project is to foster sustainable development and mitigate climate change in the region.

The main objective of the project is to provide national and regional authorities an appropriate measures to reduce PM and NO2 concentrations in air.

The first objective of the project is to maintain effective air monitoring IoT networks and provide real-time, inexpensive access to air quality data.

The second objective of the project is to demonstrate pilot source apportionment methods enabling on-time air pollution mitigation strategies.

The third objective expected to be achieved is reduction of pollutant emissions in order to approach attainment of respective national ambient air quality standards.

One of the core tasks of the project is to endorse public awareness, so that policies will be easily adopted by citizens and businesses.
