Vanco Ordanoski says that Ecomonitor is partially funded by the Agency for Innovation, and the project has been going on for two years and operates on a system of measuring stations that examine air pollution, said at the Conference “Greens are coming 2020”, held by GREEN CIVIL (organizational unit of CIVIL) in partnership with the Heinrich B Белll Foundation, which took place today.
“In Macedonia, 250 devices will be installed in the municipalities in RS. Macedonia, the first municipality where we set up measuring stations is Prilep, then Kumanovo, Veles and Skopje, etc.…
We can not talk about effective measures against pollution if we do not know where that pollution comes from.
The mayors say that most of the pollution is from wood heating and few mayors know where the biggest pollution is.
The project is a Macedonian product and was produced in our company.
The purpose is to collect data on pollution and will be available for various research needs, and in processed form will be available on our site.
What we are measuring at the moment is PM10 cells…
Polluters usually pollute when institutions are not working, but our devices will register them at any time.
The research will allow the authorities to react proactively, because when you know through the weather forecast that it will rain tomorrow, then you will take an umbrella, so with this device there will be warnings and forecasts for pollution so that the authorities can react.
