Description
The City of Mělník considers air quality measurement to be very important. For this reason, it participates in the TENT air project and continues its efforts in the submitted project. The project addresses air measurements in parts of the city that have been shown to experience air pollution from local heating plants. Specifically, there are two areas of the city, namely Blata/Rousovice and Mlazice/Pšovka, where there are repeated complaints of unsuitable fuels from local heating plants, air pollution and the associated odour. Therefore, a network of sensory measurements and meteocomplete will be installed in these locations as part of the new project to locate the problem and provide information on the state of the environment. These measurements will then be used to recommend measures to improve air quality.
On this basis, the project will have a positive impact on the environment in these locations. Regular air monitoring will also enable the municipality to better influence citizens and increase their ownership of air pollution, as well as improve their readiness to apply for additional funding for the right measures and to implement these corrective measures. In the municipality, 8 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 storage 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.
