Air Quality
We share a common desire for Brașov City with cleaner air. That's why a significant portion of our current and future efforts are directed towards this goal.
When we address air quality, we're essentially discussing the well-being of ourselves and our children in the coming years. To make informed decisions, it's crucial to identify specific issues and understand the root causes of pollution in different areas. Currently, we're closely monitoring 29 areas within the city. These include locations that have received complaints over time, those at a high risk of industrial pollution or traffic congestion, and areas with intermittent heavy traffic.

To these 29 units are added the sensors installed individually by citizens, NGOs but also those installed by companies, including mobile sensors installed on buses. Thus, the number of sensors in Brașov and the surrounding areas reaches 70 units, contributing to a much clearer picture of the pollution sources in the area.
Brasov was previously flagged from infringement case for PM2.5, PM10 and NOx. However, through the implementation of IPAQ 2018-2022, Brasov has successfully been removed from the list of violators for PM2.5 and PM10. A similar positive outcome is anticipated for NOx in the coming months.
Starting from 2020, Brasov has started to contribute to extending sensors included in the independent networks by purchasing and installing 34 new sensors, which measure temperature, humidity, PM10, PM2.5, formaldehyde, ozone, NOx, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile compounds and other gases. Here is the map of CityLab - the network developed together with the civil society.
