Invitation for workshop on air monitoring stations

City of Copenhagen invites universities and companies to a discussion on air quality monitoring in Copenhagen as a preliminary market consultation prior to potential procurement.

Air pollution is a challenge to public health. A status report from 2016 shows, that every year approximately 550 people die prematurely due to fine particle air pollution.

City of Copenhagen wishes to examine the possibilities for setting up and operating different types of municipal street monitoring stations in the city. The stations will measure the air’s content of harmful substances to give a more accurate description of the health-related consequences of air pollution in the city. The objective of the discussion is to gain insights into how the market can work with measurements and data collection of e.g. ultrafine particles and NO2.
