Need

World Athletics aims to work and advocate for clean air by providing real-time information on air quality and athlete performance. It also seeks to influence environmental policies, find air quality solutions and conduct awareness campaigns.

World Athletics, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme, aims to address the air pollution problem that contributes to 7 million deaths a year worldwide. Creating an air quality monitoring network at 1,000 athletics tracks around the world provides a prime opportunity to provide evidence to improve the health of citizens and future athletes.
