Environmental Monitoring

Air pollution is linked to 300,000 premature deaths annually in the EU and millions more worldwide. With the tools developed in this project, air pollution can be monitored more reliably enabling decision-makers to focus their efforts.

The outcome of this project will support the intention of the EU of becoming CO2-neutral by 2030. This is done by improving the control and maintenance of utility networks, and by reducing energy consumption in manufacturing, and industrial processing, which accounts for 22 % of European greenhouse gas emissions.

Novel SI-traceability lowers measurement uncertainties, improves data reliability, and impacts environmental monitoring, with an improved understanding of pollution propagation, based on static and mobile sensor networks. This informs and empowers decision-makers to monitor and decrease local pollution levels.
