NanoSen-AQM faces the challenge of monitoring ambient air pollution and informing the public of air quality in real time in a sustainable manner.

The objective of the project is to develop an electronic system based on low cost and low consumption sensors, validating the system in different locations of Spain and Portugal.

The developed devices, small, lightweight and simple to use, will be easily integrated into weather stations, mobile units and personal devices for measuring atmospheric pollution, providing high spatial and temporal resolution data that will allow to validate the predictive models of air quality. The electronic system uses gas sensors based on nanotechnology and microelectronics, machine learning techniques to discriminate and quantify toxic gases in the air and cloud computing technologies to manage and present air quality data.

The final products will help competent entities with the decision making process in topics regarding management of air quality, emission control and protection of those affected by air pollution.

The project started in April 2018 and will finish on March 2021.

The Project has been funded by the Interreg Sudoe Programme through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under grant agreement number SOE2/P1/E0569.
