Dear partners,

With great joy, we would like to share with you the first big project of the ETA2U Foundation.

Launched on 12 December 2019, Air for Bucharest primarily aims to inform the residents of Bucharest about the pollution levels in the city by creating an infrastructure consisting of a number of specialized sensors located in various places citywide. The sensors will monitor and analyze the air quality, while the data gathered will be published on an online platform accessible to the public.

One of the clearly outlined directions of the ETA2U Foundation is the promotion of a healthy environment. In this aspect, Romania is not doing well because its urban environments are the most populated in Europe. We believe that by using technology in an innovative way, this situation can be improved. Thus, the aim of the "Green Code for Bucharest" project is to implement a technical infrastructure that aims to record air quality data in Bucharest in real time. Within the same project will be carried out 4 campaigns for information, awareness and education of the population. Project developed in partnership with the IKEA Fund, Bucharest Community Foundation and the Ecopolis Association and will last 18 months.

One of the basic rights of any human being is the possibility to grow and live in a healthy environment. The quality of air influences greatly the state of population’s health. An initiative of the ETA2U Foundation, the project aims to build the infrastructure necessary for measuring the air quality across Timisoara, in partnership with COLTERM.
