20,000 Belgiums direct maintain taken purpose inward a citizen scientific discipline projection to stair out air pollution inward Flemish region (the northern portion of the country). For the projection volunteers installed air character sensors on a street facing window of their homes. These sensors measured NO2 levels during all of May 2018.
You tin thought the results of the projection on the Curieuze Neuzen Vlaanderen interactive map. The map uses colored circles to exhibit the sum of NO2 measured past times each of the 20,000 air character sensors. The map reveals that air pollution levels tin vary widely from street to street. In full general air character inward Flemish region is pretty good. However in that place are areas amongst lots of air pollution, to a greater extent than ofttimes than non inward cities together with the larger towns.
Antwerp stands out amongst nearly the whole metropolis showing worrying levels of air pollution. The pollution is especially pathetic inward narrow streets amongst lots of traffic. However fifty-fifty modest towns ofttimes direct maintain locations where NO2 levels are high. These tend to hold out inward areas amongst lots of stop-start route traffic, such equally roundabouts, busy crossroads together with traffic lights.
