Porto Alegre (Brazil) faced significant air quality challenges due to intense vehicular traffic and increasing urbanisation. The lack of real-time data made it difficult to accurately assess pollution levels, hindering the development of effective public policies and limiting public awareness of environmental and health risks.
It was crucial to establish a robust monitoring system combining compact and regulatory stations that could provide accurate and real-time information on the city’s air quality.
The implementation of this system marks a milestone in Porto Alegre’s environmental management, providing essential tools to tackle urban pollution challenges.
