A pilot project identified poor air quality in 12 schools located in the northern and central regions of Portugal. The monitoring was conducted recently, with the aim of assessing the environmental situation in educational institutions.

The air quality assessment was carried out through the mobile installation of portable measuring stations. These stations were equipped with specific sensors to detect pollutants in the school environment.

These measurements allowed for the collection of data that revealed deficiencies in air quality among the participating schools. The project aimed to raise awareness of the importance of controlling air quality in educational spaces.

Information about the project was reported by various sources, highlighting the relevance of utilizing technology to improve health and safety conditions for students in schools.
