Programme details The Sunny Side of Pollution

Solar energy databases to support pollution management in cities

European cities today have to face increasing ozone pollution levels. With heat waves exasperating the situation, ozone pollution has become a major concern in Europe. In fact, it is considered to be the root cause for the growing amount of Europeans suffering from asthma, allergies and general respiration insufficiencies. About twenty European researchers, from six European countries, have just created a server known as “SoDa” (Solar Data). This provides accurate data about solar radiation and enables meteorologists to forecast sunshine, and therefre ozone pollution, more precisely.
