Накратко на български

Мрежи от евтини сензори измерват нивата на приземния озон в различни райони, например по маршрута Мюнхен – Венеция. Това помага да се разберат ефектите на озона върху здравето, климата и способността на растенията да абсорбират въглерод.

OPen WIreless OzoNe SEnsor NEtwoRk for smart environmental monitoring of remote areas: crossing the Alps along the 12th east meridian on the trail Munich Venice

The open-source low-cost sensor networks developed through the project PIONEER (https://github.com/theRosyProject/PIONEER) is capable of long-term measurements of earth near surface ozone, in unpolluted and polluted remote (and urban) environments. It will help to assess the impacts of tropospheric ozone on the earth system, human health and ecosystems, and to detect changes in the atmospheric composition which could aggravate or reduce these impacts because of changing ozone precursor emissions or climate change. Earth surface ozone is highly relevant for the Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and human health: i) it is the third largest contributor to greenhouse radiative forcing after carbon dioxide and methane; ii) it plays a crucial role in tropospheric chemistry as the main precursor for the OH radical which determines the oxidation capacity of the troposphere; iii) it is a toxic air pollutant affecting human health and agriculture, and, through plant damage, it impedes the uptake of carbon into the biosphere. The final goal of the project is to develop an IoT tool to be used by scientists and citizen engineers for earth monitoring. While the PIONEER goal is focus on the study of ozone, the IoT infrastructure (hardware/software) developed can be reused for monitoring other air pollutants (e.g., aerosol, NOx, VOCs, etc.) or for different projects (e.g., smart agriculture, smart cities, home automation, etc.).

Цел на проекта

Atmospheric observatories are currently the primary infrastructure for the state-of-the-art meteorological and climate research. However, the World Meteorological Organization Global Atmosphere Watch (WMO-GAW) states in their 2018 final report that the fate of the next generation of monitoring stations will be dramatically modified by the breakthroughs of new low-cost sensors (LCSs) technologies. The rapid development and continuous improvement of low-cost technology are demonstrating notable applications and today “LCSs are beginning to play a role in areas such as model or emissions validation and spatial variability in pollution” in support the state-of-the-art instrumentations and established networks. New upcoming atmospheric applications, services and support in citizen inclusion in earth monitoring are pushing European Union (EU) in funding scientific communities, companies, governments and international bodies such as the Joint Commercial Advisory Group (JCAG) in developing and assessing low-cost technology, thus making the introduction of basic and applied research addressing quantitative, reproducible measurements, guidelines for best practice, high data quality and accuracy, compatibility of data imperative. Considering these crucial challenges, aim of the project is to establish a low-cost sensors wireless sensor network (LCS-WSN) to assess the effectiveness of low-cost technologies in the study of transboundary transport phenomena. Given its highly relevance for the Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and human health as stated by the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project, primary endeavor will be directed towards the study of Ozone. Main target is to develop a highly reliable LCS-WSN to be used by scientists as well as citizen engineers in remote areas and harsh environments, where the needs of reliable spatial data to model the transboundary transport phenomena and climate change effects is ever more decisive.
