Environmental information about CO2, airborne dust and
pollen will no longer be collected only at isolated measuring stations. From
now on, cyclists, bus drivers and the man in the street will be able to do
their bit.
“At present, environmental measurements are made using
expensive stations spread around the country. However, now that everybody has a
mobile phone, and with the development of technology, we ourselves can
contribute with various types of data,” says Arne Berre at SINTEF ICT.
