AIRSENS
Air quality monitoring in small settlements of the South Moravian Region with local heating systems using sensors is an innovative research project dealing with air pollution and related health and economic risks.
Particulate matter concentrations in selected municipalities and urban areas;
- meteorological parameters (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind direction and speed);
- concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, an extended set of 29 PAHs compounds including the legislated benzo[a]pyrene and 7 other carcinogenic representatives of this group of substances;
- prediction of screening health risks at selected sites;
- heating method and awareness of the relationship to air quality;
- economic aspects of switching to a cleaner heating source;
- economic evaluation of health risks;
- willingness of residents and identification of barriers to switching to a cleaner standard of domestic heating.
