working on

traffic pollution

University of Žilina has been measuring the amount of air pollution from the road traffic in Žilina. The measurement methodology has been established and technological background has been provided. Measurements and subsequent assessment of measured values are currently being performed.

working on

Air Pollution model

VŠB has prepared the modelling system ADMoSS for detailed modelling of air quality. The work on the modelling system involved programming of the needed scripts and optimizing the modelling process for the large TRITIA region. 10x shorter calculation time was achieved.

working on

current state Studies

ACCENDO is currently finalizing the socio-economic study focused on the situation and development of economic activities and the epidemiological study of the TRITIA region focused on the health status of the population in terms of diseases affected by the quality of air.

working on

Moss analysis

VŠB designed the network for moss sampling for the project needs, sampled mosses in the field (ca. 250 samples), than processed samples for the neutron activation analysis (NAA) and transported them to Joint Institute of Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia.

working on

traffic model

University of Žilina is currently working on the traffic model. The traffic model will be the main input for the generalized emission model. This is the largest and most comprehensive model that has been processed within the monitored territory so far.

working on

Databases

8 databases are currently being created within the project:

1. Demographic
2. Geographic
3. Meteorological
4. Traffic
5. Domestic boilers
6. Industrial sources
7. Socio-Economic
8. Epidemiological

working on

overview of EU projects

ACCENDO has developed an overview of air quality projects that include a large amount of data and information to be used in the frame of the AIR TRITIA project implementation.

working on

overview of legislation and policy

ACCENDO is currently finalizing an overview of the legislation on air quality in which the legal regulations of the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia and their link to the EU policy and legislation are compared.

done

overview of existing studies

ACCENDO has completed the overview of studies on air pollution topic. Studies show that the air quality in the TRITIA region is one of the worst in the EU.

Healthy Air Info Day in Ostrava

The interactive show "Smokeman zasahuje" (Smokeman in action), designed for both children and adults, performed not only the suitable solid fuels for domestic boilers, but also a lot of interesting tasks and experiments. The participants were also tested on air pollution issues and geography of the TRITIA region. After the participants had completed the quiz they were given a little prize.

event

Earth Day in Opava

The AIR TRITIA project participated in the Earth Day in Opava. We would like to thank everyone for arranging such a great event. Sunny weather attracted a huge entry of nice people who could see and learn how to be helpful in order to improve the air quality. Everybody seemed to have a great time.

Project CE1101
UNIFORM APPROACH TO THE AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FUNCTIONAL URBAN AREAS IN TRITIA REGION / AIR TRITIA

Air quality in excessively polluted areas is still managed at local level. At the same time, air pollution is a specific issue with its cross-boundary overrun so that it cannot be effectively managed only at the national or regional level. AIR TRITIA aims to increase air quality management capacities of public sector bodies through the development of a unified spatial information database, introducing new management and pollution prediction tools and air quality strategies.

The common cooperation approach to air quality management at the level of functional urban areas will be based on detailed mathematical modelling and verification of various types of measurements with the use of supercomputers. The project will also define options for transmitting information within different territories, define measures for the reduction of emissions and elaborate legislative proposals for a more efficient implementation of an integrated strategy for air quality management at the territorial level.
