Turning clean urban air

into reality

At RI-URBANS we reshape the way

air quality is measured

Addressing a major health issue

We aim at eliminating hazards posed by bad air quality

Despite vast improvements in recent decades, poor air quality remains a worldwide health problem, causing many deaths every year. In addition, the air pollutants of today are different to those from 15 years ago, creating new hazards that are yet to be studied.

To identify and address these changes, we at RI-URBANS will modify the existing tools used to analyse air quality. This will allow us to better understand and manage these new risks.

PROJECT

Enhancing existing tools

Our solutions improve the analysis of air quality

Identifying new pollutant sources and tailoring metrics

We develop new measuring systems to adapt to the changes in pollutants

Evaluating the health effect on citizens

We assess the impacts of the new pollutants on health, and analyse the resulting measurements

Creating models and emission inventories

We develop better modelling tools and gather previously collected emission data

Scaling-up across the globe

We pilot our approach in real-life environments

We will test our service tools in 9 cities around Europe. Our aim is to provide a roadmap for putting the RI-URBANS solution into practice all over the world.
