Discover the first, interim results of ExpAIR

The study did limit itself to Piers Street, but we nevertheless wonder what the results would be for Ribaucourt Street and Courtois Street …

 “rue Piersstraat: There, values around 54.9 µg/m³ were measured with an average of 42.4 µg/m³ over the period.” This means: dangerously polluted air!

“Above 40μg/m³ NO2 concentrations, air quality is illegal.”

“Air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk in Europe. Some 97% of the EU’s urban population currently lives in areas with poor air quality. In our country alone, air pollution is responsible for about 6,500 premature deaths” (Source:European Environment Agency, 2019).
