Air Quality: From Science to Action

<p>The AQ-WATCH (<span>Air Quality: Worldwide Analysis and Forecasting of Atmospheric Composition for Health) project, supported by the European Commission, is developing seven innovative products and services for improving air quality forecasts and attributing chemical sources. These </span><span>prototypes are based on existing space and in-situ observations of air quality. They are tailored to the identified needs of international users and are aimed at improving public health. The prototypes include (1) a global and regional air quality atlas, (2) a forecast system for metropolitan areas, (3) a wildfire and visibility service, (4) a dust and solar energy service, (5) a pollution from fracking service, (6) an emission mitigation service and (7) an attribution service. The prototypes are being tested by prime users and integrated in a user-friendly toolkit. These products and services will be brought to the market.</span></p>
