Air pollution is a silent threat
Breathing polluted air can contribute to many health problems. Children,
elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions are
especially vulnerable groups. Act now to protect them.
How poor air quality
affects our health?
Air pollution is a significant environmental health hazard with far-reaching consequences. Poor air quality in general can have significant impacts on health.
Let’s explore its impact:
Respiratory issues
Breathing polluted air can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. It may lead to coughing, wheezing, and more frequent or severe asthma attacks. PM2.5 in the air can enter deep into the lungs, causing reduced lung function and a feeling of tightness or shortness of breath.
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from vehicle emissions and industrial sources is particularly harmful.
Cardiovascular effects
Ischemic heart disease, stroke, and hypertension are linked to long-term exposure to air pollution.
Noxious gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides play a role.
Neonatal health
Low birth weight and preterm birth are associated with exposure to air pollutants during pregnancy.
Nervous system and organs
Long-term exposure can damage nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs.
Children and elderly
Air pollution disproportionately affects children (respiratory infections, brain development issues) and older adults.
Addressing air pollution is crucial for global health and well-being.
Take steps to improve air quality benefits everyone's health.

Key benefits of air quality monitoring
for public health institutions
Assessing the air quality is critical for numerous reasons, with the foremost being its potential to significantly reduce mortality rates.
Here's how monitoring the quality of air can help:
Public awareness & education
Informed decisions: Access to air quality data helps individuals make informed decisions about outdoor activities.
Health risk eduction: Educating the public about the health risks of poor air quality encourages behaviors promotes behaviors that mitigate pollution and reduce exposure.
Identifying pollution sources
Targeted actions: By identifying specific sources of pollution (e.g., factories, traffic congestion), targeted measures can be implemented to reduce emissions.
Policy implementation: Data from monitoring can influence policy decisions and regulatory actions to improve air quality.
Early warning system
Real-time data: With real-time data monitoring systems help with early detection of pollution spikes or hazardous conditions. This allows authorities to issue warnings when air quality deteriorates.
Health protections: Individuals, especially those with respiratory conditions, can take precautions and adjust their activities (e.g., outdoor exercise) to minimize exposure.
Optimize the deployment of medical resources and staff to areas expected to be most affected.
Help emergency services and hospitals prepare for potential increases in patients with respiratory or cardiovascular issues.
Long-term health benefits
Chronic disease prevention: Continuous monitoring and subsequent improvements in air quality can lead to a reduction in chronic diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular diseases, and lung cancer.
Children’s health: Tracking air quality school and kindergarten allows timely actions to reduce exposure of children to pollutants, minimizing possiblerespiratory issues and supporting their overall health.
Improved life expectancy: Long-term exposure to clean air can improve overall public health and reduce mortality rates.

say about us?
Matijana Jergović
M.D., PhD., Primarius, Epidemiologist and Environmental Health Specialist Dr. Andrija Štampar Institute of Public Health
The development of innovative tools for „user friendly“ display of the complex air quality monitoring in spatio-temporal mode with modelling function is extremely important for the air quality health impact assessment, due to the acute but also delayed health outcomes. The development of comprehensive digital infrastructure will make it easier to compare environmental indicators of air quality with health indicators – in order to assess and give recommendations for corrective and preventive measures as accurately as possible.
Goran Škvarč
Deputy CEO for International Cooperation at CARNET
By enabling teachers to have insight into the air quality in the classroom, the AERO system enhances the quality of the teaching process at its core. Teachers get informed at any moment if the air flow in the room is reduced, thereby maintaining an optimal concentration level. This way, CARNET AERO contributes to making schools a pleasant place to stay where every factor affecting the teaching process can be analysed and improved.
