Air pollution control- accurate and current information on the NO2 pollution of urban areas
The quality of life in a community depends on many parameters. Apart from an efficient infrastructure on site, most people value a varied sport and leisure offer. But beyond these factors, the quality of life is much more fundamental and starts with the essential needs of human beings such as breathing in clear air. The air quality of today is (amongst others) impaired by sulphur dioxide (NO2).
Reduction effects can only be achieved with a coordinated package of measures and a strategic concept if the output of nitrogen oxides and the resulting NO2 concentration is known for a large area. By applying passive collectors, extensive quality assurance measures and a longstanding experience, Müller-BBM offers not only the relatively complex reference method but also an alternative measuring concept which delivers dependable NO2 date in the outside air.
With this procedure, the NO2 pollution of each city can be determined quickly and with controllable expense. With this method – combined with technical expertise – the immission protection departments of municipal administrations are always well informed on the air quality and can develop targeted and effective measures for reducing urban air pollution and control the effectiveness of their measures (monitoring).
