He Barcelona Supercomputes Center (BSC-CNS)) the last one Your most ambitious projects till date And that, as its driver L is proceeding to Periodico, it can have a direct impact on policies to design the future of Barcelona on policies. A team of researchers from the Earth Science Department of the unit will present to the Mobile World Congress A leading project to predict Barcelona pollution with one Unpublished resolution“So far we can make predictions with a resolution of one kilometer. Now, thanks to this new tool, we can learn the contamination road level from time to time over time. This is the most sophisticated model ever“, He says Christina carneroResearchers behind this initiative.
Baptist is taken as an initiative Caliop-urban And, as their drivers explain as April It will be available for free to all citizensIt aims to offer reliable forecasts Pollution levels in all roads of Barcelona During the same day and also for the next day. In particular, this tool will focus on predicting the level of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air, one of the main air pollutants obtained from traffic and industrial activities, and that, that is mentioned as innumerable studies, It has a harmful effect to health. Especially in the case of children, elderly and chronic diseases.
“These predictions can help citizens to make more informed decisions about their days to protect their health.”
In an interview with this newspaper, Carnero says, “These predictions can help citizens to make more informed decisions about day -day to protect their health.” For example, parents could do Decide to change the way back home After taking their school children, if they see the road they were going to pass is more contaminated than the other. Or people with chronic diseases increased by pollution can change their walking time to avoid exposing themselves for this type of harmful substances. One of the two A ‘runner’ can change its tour Dodge the most polluted areas and instead, areas with cleaner air.

Great novelty of this system developed in circuit Marinostrum supercomputer From Barcelona, Resolve of models used to expand these forecasts. Its creators explain that this device combines various mathematical models to estimate both anthropological and biogenic emissions, as well as atmospheric and climatic conditions of each moment. That is, it takes into account with factors such as development traffic Like in the city, for example, One day rain and water helps in spreading atmospheric pollution,
The result is that, thanks to these calculations, this tool is capable of preparing pollution maps in Barcelona throughout the day. With a resolution of only 25 metersIn this way, you can also know which sections of roads will be more contaminated through Arago, diagonal or gran during solid moments of the day.
The initiative will know how many people are in touch with the level of dangerous pollution and study European air quality rules.
Beyond daily forecasts, Carnero explains that this tool This will be important for urban planners And this Public managerOn the one hand, because, as this scientist states, the fact of knowing which roads are focused on, more pollution will also allow how many people are exposed to dangerous levels of atmospheric pollution and, from there, from there, Take public health measures Protect them before this incident. And on the other hand, the driver of this project says that the information collected from this device can also be important on the face. For future urban changes in the city For example, redirect roads or plan to deploy new walk areas. It can also be used to study compliance with European rules on air quality and eventually, how to take more powerful measures to reduce urban pollution.
“This is a very valuable type of information that will help us decide that will allow us to give a healthy life,” Carnero says, which says It will be in charge of presenting this initiative on 4 March next Tuesday during Mobile World Congress.Experts confirmed that this initiative has developed thinking about Barcelona, ​​but has not been dismissed that it can be exported to other great cities of the world in the future.
