Last week, our EcoAirSolutions air pollution conference with “NGO Arnika” was held.
Link to the video recording of the conference is here
In two days we presented the projects of partners and presented the ecosystem for air quality monitoring YourAirTest.
The conference was induced by the plenary, Sergei Ivanovich Okovity, Rector of the DNU named after Oles‘ Gonchar, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Honoured Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, on which it was emphasized that ecology is very important for everyone, and air quality comes first, it depends on the length of our lives!
At the DNU and the laboratory of the Engineering School Noosphere pay special attention to projects related to ecology and air pollution monitoring
YourAirTest mobile application has been developed thanks to which our citizens and students can monitor the air quality where they are now.
The MonAir project is also a ground-based air quality sensor that measures air quality for 6 key pollutants: PM2.5 particulate matter, PM10 particulate matter, O3 (ozone), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), SO₂ (sulfur dioxide) and CO (oxide). ) carbon).
This data is available on www.YourAirTest.com
“Environmental issues need to be addressed by coming together, recognizing their roots, and writing a plan. We need to move towards improvements step by step, and each joint project is a confirmation. ”
At the conference, Maksym Soroka presented the Clean Air for Ukraine project with an air quality monitoring station developed by Ecosity. Serhiy Ivanovych Okovytyi gratefully promised to install the station in one of the DNU buildings.
Important topics were the possibility of air quality management in cities and ways to involve citizens in the problem of air pollution. We have managed not only to form an open dialogue between students, scientists and the authorities, but also to understand that we must all work together on the main goal – to make society more environmentally conscious.
We have saved all the presentations of our speakers:
Technical achievements:
The first report a set of programs for learning Gaussian model + was presented by Danilo Boldyrev – a graduate student of DNU. O. Gonchar. Python developer YourAirTest.
This is a report on a software package for all environmental students that will help simulate pollution from 1 to 6 pipes without knowledge of programming languages. The results of the calculation will be a picture, where the map will show the smoke and the size of the polluting cloud with the values of concentrations.
Anton Sokolov (University of Littoral Côte d’Opal, Laboratory of Atmospheric Physicochemistry, Dunkirk, France) presented a report on optimizing the location of environmental sensors in the industrialized areas of Dunkirk, France. We plan to develop such a model for Kryvyi Rih next year.
Report on modeling the atmosphere in Ukraine and the Kryvyi Rih region. Anton revealed the secrets of air modeling with WRF to create a more complex forecasting system.
