Mobile air quality monitors make it possible to overcome the spatial limits implied by fixed measurements. As previously explained, these solutions make it possible to extend the geographic monitoring coverage, increase the data available to create more accurate models, or detect pollution hotspots that require attention.
It is also an extremely versatile solution that can be adapted to multiple means of transport, ranging from bicycles, an option that was demonstrated during the 2020 European Mobility Week , to buses or, as in the case of Belgium, delivery vans.
Air pollution is, like SARS-COV-2, a pandemic. But we have tools at our disposal to collect data and make informed decisions to correct deviations. In short, we have the necessary mechanisms to avoid greater evils. Prevention is, after all, cheaper than cure.
