by i. A. Anna Mahlau , IVU Umwelt GmbH As part of the MITRAP project, IVU Umwelt is setting up the IMMISmt monitoring system for the cities of Copenhagen, Athens, and Lisbon to monitor air pollution levels across the city in real time. This means that...
Understanding how environmental noise affects daily life is an important step toward creating healthier and more liveable cities. To collect data efficiently across multiple cities, MI-TRAP used portable noise sensors that continuously recorded environmental noise levels. Because these sensors are compact and cost-effective, they enabled...
A MI-TRAP field measurement campaign is now underway across Prague, with researchers collecting data at three locations representing different urban and suburban environments. Measurements began in early July at three sites: Holešovice (HE): a heavily trafficked urban location close to a major railway station. Vysočany (CE): a busy...
A five-day vehicle emissions measurement campaign took place in Prague in May, bringing together researchers from the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the MI-TRAP project to test innovative approaches for identifying high-emitting vehicles in real-world traffic conditions. The...
On Thursday, 4 June 2026 (12:00–13:00 CET), the Net4Cities project will host an online webinar titled “Nature-Based Solutions for Cities: Reducing Air and Noise Pollution.” The event will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore how Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) can contribute to quieter, cleaner, and...

By Arpit Malik, Andreas Nowak, André Wählisch, Burkard Beckhoff The air we breathe in modern cities is changing, and we do need advanced methods to monitor it. While larger particles are removed out of the air by modern engine exhaust filters the particle mass is dropping...
MI-TRAP is strengthening its European collaboration ecosystem with the addition of new strategic synergies, further connecting research, innovation, and policy across air quality, environmental governance, and urban sustainability. New partners include ENFORCE, EDIAQI, ENHANCE, and NextAIRE, joining established collaborations such as Net4Cities and EASVOLEE, as well...
