We had the opportunity to contribute with some results from ILMApilot project.\u00a0Starting at minute 2:10 of the video you can find several atmospheric monitoring maps. One example is shown in the picture above where the\u00a0pollution maps (based on OMI NO2 observations) show the air quality improvement observed\u00a0in the last 12 years over Helsinki area. The area with the highest pollution levels (red color)\u00a0observed in 2005 becomes sensibly\u00a0smaller (yellow-green color) in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>ILMApilot aims at improving the\u00a0use\u00a0of satellite-based observations in applications serving the Finnish society.\u00a0Similar\u00a0maps as shown in the picture above have been used for example by HSY (Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority) in their yearly air quality report as background information.
