Air pollution is a specific issue with its cross-boundary overrun, so that it cannot be effectively managed only at the national or regional level. The outputs of the AIR TRITIA project offer, in the field of air quality management, to the public authorities unified spatial information database, new tools for air pollution management and forecasting, air quality strategies for individual urban functional areas of Zilina, Ostrava, Opava, Opole and Rybnik, as well as a common air quality strategy for the whole TRITIA region.
The common cooperation approach to air quality management at the level of functional urban areas, regions and countries, is the result of detailed mathematical modelling and verification of various types of measurements, with the use of data processing on supercomputers. As part of the project, a system for sharing information between cities and regions was set up and the necessary measures to reduce emissions of air pollutants have been identified. At the same time, legislative proposals for a more efficient implementation of an integrated strategies for air quality management at the territorial level have been elaborated.
The last output of the project is the publication Atlas of Air Quality in the Tritia Region. This book summarizes a number of pieces of information that emerged during the three-year project, which aimed to describe the causes of nowadays air quality in the region and propose how to improve it. It contains air maps of the TRITIA Region, which cover the landscape on the borderland of three countries - the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia.
