Air quality policies in Europe have achieved remarkable success in reducing premature mortality caused by pollution over recent years. Despite this progress, a significant gap remains between current air quality levels and the recommended standards for health protection. In 2022, the European Commission proposed revising air quality regulations with ambitious targets set for 2030. This is where RI-URBANS steps in, embarking on a mission to develop advanced service tools that can revolutionize the monitoring and reduction of air pollution cost-effectively.
The video explores how RI-URBANS' innovative tools are designed to quickly adapt to Europe's diverse and dynamic urban landscapes. It showcases collaborative efforts across nine pilot cities, highlighting the project's transformative approach to understanding and combating air pollution. By analyzing data on advanced air quality parameters, RI-URBANS gains invaluable insights into the sources and dynamics of urban air pollution.
Years of dedicated research culminate in actionable recommendations, poised for implementation by the European Commission to introduce advanced air quality parameters in the new European directive.
Join us as we journey towards a future where air quality meets the highest standards of health protection, making cities safer and healthier for all.
