Air pollution monitoring for mines: a solution for cost effective measurements
Air pollution is one of the main environmental problems to be addressed by the EU. In order to foster sustainable development and mitigate climate change, it is therefore important to provide national and regional authorities with appropriate measures to reduce criteria pollutants (PM 10, PM2.5, O3, CO2, SO2 and NOx) concentrations in air. Many cities are not able of meeting the implemented EU ...
