Description
The main ambition and reason for the project is to involve the young generation, a select group of high school students, in air quality issues. Air pollution by aerosol particles is a society-wide problem affecting the health of people of all generations. The way households heat their homes is subject to generational stereotypes, with the younger generation often picking up bad habits from their parents and grandparents. Experimental medium-term measurements, generating online data accessible to students during the winter months, will help to activate students'' interest in this issue. A selected group of third-year students attending seminars in physics, chemistry or geography in cooperation with the project''s expert guarantor (applicant) will use data analysis to explore the issue of air pollution, especially the issue of heating in local heating systems, and then communicate proposals for solutions to this problem within the family, school, community.
Together with the representatives of the South Moravian Region, 3 high schools were selected - Znojmo, Židlochovice and Vyškov. The selected settlements thus form an imaginary SW-SE axis of the South Moravian Region. In addition to the selected schools, measurements will also be carried out at other locations in the intramural areas of these towns, so the results will be interesting for all residents of Znojmo, Vyškov and Židlochovice.
