            Air pollution caused by particulate matter (PM) remains a major environmental and public h
            in Europe, contributing to over 430,000 premature deaths annually due to elevated PM2.5 le
            measurements by Charles University have revealed significant wintertime concentrations in 

            medium-sized settlements, largely linked to local heating emissions. The CONSPIRO project 
            findings, bringing together experts from Charles University, the University of Copenhagen,

            University to combine advanced monitoring techniques with modelling approaches in order to
            pressing issue.


            The project will integrate existing PM datasets collected through stationary, mobile, and 
            drone) measurements with local-scale air pollution models to predict exposure patterns in 
            settlements. Pilot data evaluations will be carried out in collaboration with world-leadin

            from the University of Copenhagen, with active involvement of students from both universit
            the research component, the project places a strong emphasis on education and public aware
            with Heidelberg University to apply GIS and Earth Observation methods for the interpretati

            data and hotspot identification.

            Through a combination of high-tech environmental science, interdisciplinary cooperation, a

            engagement, CONSPIRO aims to develop comprehensive strategies for mitigating PM pollution.
            include the submission of joint proposals to the Erasmus+ and LIFE programmes, with the fo
            on educating municipal and regional officials in the use of air quality data for public di

            latter on nationwide awareness campaigns highlighting the health impacts of air pollution.
            aerosol science, meteorology, modelling, geography, and epidemiology, the project will not
            scientific understanding but also empower students, researchers, and local communities to 

            cleaner air.
