Smart road: Air quality

In the “Smart Road” project, the air hygiene department of both Basel (LHA) tests cost-efficient microsensors for their accuracy and reliability. The installed “Nubo” sensor from Sensirion AG is able to determine the concentration of various pollutants in the air in real time. The exposure to nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter is mainly caused by motorised traffic and heating. Ozone is formed in the atmosphere from the precursor pollutants nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic matter (VOC) under sun exposure. At the same time, three “Nubo” sensors were installed at the permanent measuring stations of the LHA on St. Johanns-Platz, Feldbergastrasse and on the A2 motorway in the Hard and compared against the reference measuring devices of the LHA. These values are also available on OGD: https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100178Weitere Information on air quality in the Basel region is available on Ω available. Background information on ozone and particulate matter on the websites www.ozon-info.ch and Ω. Information on the health effects of air pollution on the website https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/ludok/healtheffects/.Die Maximum values (O3) and averages (NO2, PM 2.5) of the previous day can be found in the following dataset: https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100174/table/ Further information and data about the project “Smarte Strasse” can be found under the following links:More information about the project “Smarte Strasse”: https://www.entwicklung.bs.ch/grundlagen/smart-city/smarte-strasse.html Accurate locations of all sensors: https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100114/table/ Other data sets related to the topic “Smart Road”: https://data.bs.ch/explore/?refine.tags=smarte+strasse Note:The air sensors on Gundeldingerstrasse were dismantled on 29.6.23. No data has been collected since early/mid-June.
