NET4Air: Towards the development of a platform with interchangeable air pollution sensors

The Net4Air project is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission under the Twinning framework. Withinit, a co reaction is an exploratory research project aiming to develop alow-cost wearable/portable nanoelectonic based platform for air monitoring. Low-cost air quality monitors allow individuals and organizations to contribute to hyper-local pollution data that empowers communities to take proactive steps to breathe cleaner air while also providing researchers and policy advocates with the information they need to make healthy changes for a cleaner planet.
This presentation will cover the progress to the scientific component of the project, from the development of sensitive layers to the ir use in sensors and their integration into a platform that allows for a wide range of interchangeable sensors.

Sustainable alternatives for the cement industry

The building industry requires vast amounts of resources and accounts for about 50% of all extracted raw materials. Furthermore, the extensive use of concreteat global scale is no longer sustainable in terms of both CO2 emission and costs. Most of the CO2 arises from clinker production, the main constituent of Portland cement, because of the very high temperatures(1400-1500°C) involved in the process and of the CO2 release from limestone. Therefore, reducing clinker content in cement mixtures by replacing it with clays or other inorganic secondary raw materials is considered a promising strategy to reduce carbon emissions.
In this frame work, binders based on industrial by-products such as fly-ashes and furnace slag, as well as low-cost and wide spread geological sources such as clays, are considered as promising alternative store place part of ordinary Portland cement(OCP), with an efficient use of local resources and raw materials.​
