International PhD course:
Current and future Air Pollution management
– Perspectives on new sensor technologies
A portASAP Training School on Low Cost Air Quality Sensors
organized by Aarhus University in cooperation with Saarland University and Aristotle University Thessaloniki.
Date and duration
Week 36: September 2, 2019 @ 09:00 – September 6, 2019 @ 13:00. Duration of 5 days.
Venue
Aristotle University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Thessaloniki, Greece (campus map). The training school will take place at the meeting room of the Faculty of Engineering.
Aim
Portable and affordable environmental sensors are becoming popular in Citizen Science activities and are also gaining ground in scientific projects. The recent publication of the WMO report on “Low-cost sensors for the measurement of atmospheric composition: overview of topic and future applications” has signalled the importance of Low Cost Air Quality Sensors (LCAQS) as well as the high interest of the scientific community, city authorities and citizens to their development and application. Such sensor technologies can provide comprehensive information concerning a wide range of pollutants with high spatial and temporal resolution, providing valuable insight concerning the understanding and dynamics of urban air quality as well as of indoor air. Furthermore, low cost sensors can also provide information about acute environmental pollution allowing fast identification of sources and threats. On the other hand, their limited accuracy and their lack of performance when compared to reference instruments pose considerable challenges toward their improvement to achieve acceptance in various application fields.
The school aims at providing fundamental training and expertise in the area of urban air quality monitoring and modelling, for better and more effective LCAQS design, development, calibration and use. LCAQS technologies and basic functionalities will also be addressed. The training school will address the technology chain from sensor elements via sensor systems and calibration to their use for environmental services incl. combination with modelling.
Expected results
The main result will be the knowledge shared and the collaboration potential that will be increased between the training school participants. Students will
- receive MSc/PhD level education from University Professors/researchers that have a high experience in urban air quality modelling and monitoring and in LCAQS characteristics and use
- work in the interdisciplinary domain of LCAQS use, approaching them not only as open source hardware but also as IoT nodes for smart city applications

Low-cost Environmental Monitoring
– from sensor principles to novel services
organized by Saarland University, Aarhus University and Aristotle University Thessaloniki in cooperation with BAM and Eurice GmbH.

Purpose and background
Environmental monitoring today is based on fixed measurement stations containing sophisticated analytical equipment to achieve a high data quality. However, due to the high cost for investment and maintenance only a limited number of pollutants (typ. CO, NOx, SO2, ozone, PM10, PM2.5, BTX, tVOC) are monitored at very few locations. Furthermore, not only is the spatial resolution limited but temporal resolution is coarse, with measurements typically providing hourly values at best. Thus, the fundamental information available on air quality (AQ) today does not meet the demands of many citizens or the requirements of advanced environmental information (EI) services and city infrastructure management. The current status does not reflect the increasing needs for well monitored ‘smart cities’, requiring e.g. real-time traffic management, identification of clean ‘green’ areas and routes in cities, specific information for children, elderly or citizens affected by certain pollutants or allergens, temporal air quality profiles for optimisation of ventilation strategies for improved indoor air quality, and, last but not least, for educating citizens about their local environment and the impact of their everyday life habits to their quality of life.
Novel low-cost sensor technologies are poised to support a paradigm shift by allowing ubiquitous ambient pollution monitoring with high spatiotemporal resolution available at every person´s fingertips – either through environmental information websites backed by stationary and mobile sensor networks or quite literally with sensor technology being integrated into mobile devices and supported by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The availability of such sensor data cultivates a fertile environment for the development of novel information services addressing personalised citizen needs as well as city planning and management and environmental decision making requirements. The seminar will provide an overview over the state-of-the-art in environmental monitoring today and over sensor and modelling technologies for low-cost ubiquitous monitoring as well as indicate novel EI service characteristics and future markets based on these technologies.
Seminar benefits
Participants will learn about the main aspects of air pollution, its effects and associated costs as well as the current status of environmental monitoring technologies with their pros and cons.
Then, an overview over modern low-cost sensor principles, operating modes and data evaluation strategies as well as characterization and calibration is given with clear indications on advantages and limitations compared to existing monitoring stations. Examples will be given for various benchmark applications covering different fixed and mobile, especially drone-based, sensor solutions for pollution and odour monitoring.
Finally, participants will learn how these sensor solutions can be utilized to develop novel environmental services for municipalities, companies and citizens. The potential for citizen science solutions will be discussed as well as service design principles and market penetration potentials.
Who should attend?
The seminar addresses a wide range of participants from industry and municipalities, e.g., sensor companies providing solutions for environmental monitoring, developers and operators of existing monitoring stations to learn about new sensor technologies, network providers and app developers offering new applications and advanced services, municipality representatives interested in green city solutions as well as citizen initiatives aiming at improved air quality information. The seminar also provides contacts for future R&D collaborations in this field.
