EU has launched its Second Clean Air Outlook report. There are both premature deaths and money to be saved by improving the air quality.
We are pilot testing our air quality monitors and have started to dig into the first results. We had expected local variations in PM-levels, but it turns out the source is probably found far away from the neighbour’s wood burning stove.
