Description

The town of Velvary has a large share of family houses in the total built-up area. There are no prefabricated housing estates in the city, only a few apartment buildings with gas heating. Local heating with solid fuels is therefore a primary source of pollution. A secondary source of pollution is industrial production, mainly from the largest company in the city, Metal Trade Comax. The aim of the project is to map the concentrations of aerosol particles of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 fractions by creating a network of sensory dust meter units that will continuously monitor the level of pollution in individual city districts. The project envisages the installation of 7 dust-measuring sensory units, one reference certified dust measuring station and one meteorological sensory unit.
