Department of Environment ·Cyprus
About this project
<p style="text-align: justify">The project aims at providing new scientific knowledge on air pollution that is not currently available in Cyprus, with the expected positive impact of implementing efficient abatement strategies, improving air quality, and reducing human exposure. This will be done through the studies that will contribute to a better understanding of the local versus transported (e.g. transboundary) air pollution and provide air quality forecasts as well as testing of new technologies. The main activities of the project are related to research and innovation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Main activities shall include:</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify">development of atmospheric monitoring programme; </li> <li style="text-align: justify">testing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-based technology for air pollution; </li> <li style="text-align: justify">air pollution modelling over Cyprus; </li> <li style="text-align: justify">performing climate change projections and risks assessment analyses.</li> </ul>
