More information

Description

The main applicant is the KORIDOR D8 association which started its activities as an association of municipalities and associations of the Koridor D8 in 2017. The municipalities involved in the project, based on a signed letter of intent, consider the measurement of air quality to be very important. These are 10 municipalities of the Ustecky Region: Bohušovice nad Ohří, Hrobce, Mnetěš, Straškov-Vodochody, Přestavlky, Račiněves, Černěves, Dušníky, Kleneč, Dobříň.


A network of sensor measurements and meteocomplete will be installed in these locations in order to locate the problem and inform about the state of the environment and propose measures to improve air quality. Based on this, the project will have a positive impact on the environment in these locations. Regular air monitoring will also enable the municipality to better influence the citizens and increase their ownership of air pollution, as well as improve their readiness to request additional funding for the right measures and to implement these corrective measures. In the municipalities, 30 sites in the area with local heating installations will be surveyed and verified by reference measurements.  


All data will be transferred online to the MYSQL data repository and further displayed as points, areas and graphs. The data can be further exported for further work. Each measured site will have a card (location, description, photos), the system will also store sensor information, especially valid factors determined at the beginning and during monitoring. Operation, data analysis and interpretation will be provided by the project partner VŠB TU Ostrava.
