A Measurement Network for Healthier Cities

Air pollution, noise pollution, a negative impact on ecosystems, climate change, and an adverse effect on human health – these are all consequences of global transportation. The “Net4Cities” project coordinated by the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) in Potsdam, which Forschungszentrum Jülich is involved in, is creating the infrastructure to monitor air and noise pollution in eleven European cities in order to collect data assessing its impact on human health. The project helps in the implementation of the zero pollution action plans of the European Union’s Green Deal.
