What do you know
about air quality?

Which substance in the atmosphere is NOT directly harmful to your health?

1. PM
2. Carbon dioxide
3. Nitrogen dioxide
4. Ozone

Air quality & PM

Fijnstof heeft een belangrijke link met luchtkwaliteit. De lucht in Nederland is een stuk schoner geworden over de jaren, maar we zijn er nog niet.

Fijnstofcampagne in minder dan 2 min.

The word particulate matter is derived from...

1. Particular (meaning specific)
2. Particles (small pieces)
3. Particular (demanding)
4. Part (separate)

Why do you need to know about particulate matter?

Particulate matter (PM) floats in the air around us - the same air you breathe!

During this lesson, you will learn what PM is, how you measure it, and how it affects your health.

Clean Air campaign

You are going to measure PM.

The data are being used by the RIVM for scientific research.

RIVM=National Institute for Public Health and the Environment

Deze campagne is een samenwerking tussen GLOBE Nederland en het RIVM

GLOBE is opgezet door de Amerikaanse overheid in 1995 in samenwerking met Al Gore en NASA om leerlingen meer in aanraking te laten komen met wetenschap, ze kennis bij te brengen over hun natuurlijke leefomgeving en onderzoeksvaardigheden aan te leren.

Drag the sources of PM to the box labeled PM

PM

How does PM
influence our lives?

How far can PM10 penetrate into the body?

1. Into your nose or throat
2. Into your bronchi
3. Into your aveoli
4. Into your bloodstream

How far can ultrafine particles (0.1 micron) penetrate into your body?

1. Into your windpipe/trachea
2. Into your bronchi
3. Into your aveoli
4. Into your bloodstream

How much shorter does the average Dutch person live due to particulate matter?

1. 9 days
2. 9 weeks
3. 9 months
4. 9 years

How does a PM sensor measure PM concentration?

1. Using the scattering of light
2. Using the refraction of light
3. Using the colouring of light
4. Using the absorption of light

Samen Meten

Samen Meten

Where in the Netherlands can you find the highest average PM concentrations in the atmosphere?

1. In the northern provinces
2. Noord-Brabant and Limburg
3. The Randstad
4. B & C are both correct

NB & Limburg dragen vooral bij door de landbouw met name veeteelt

De Randstad scoort hoog door de industrie vooral in de haven van Rotterdam. Maar ook Tata Steel in IJmuiden draagt veel bij

Is the Netherlands a net importer or exporter of particulate matter?

1. Export
2. Import

1. Orientation

• This LessonUp
• and what more?

Orientation

Bike around the area for 10 min. Which route do you pick? 

• Small roads - busy roads
• Past green areas - along roads
• Open - tunnels/built in roads

Tip: if you're standing still, continue to move the stearing wheel.
After: study results and formulate research question.

Data- research questions?

Data- research questions?

• Do the results correspond with the particulate matter concentration across the Netherlands? Check https://samenmeten.rivm.nl/dataportaal/
  
  
• Do I get the same results biking this route again in the same or opposite direction (effect of wind direction)?
  
  
• Do I see or smell anything notable that could explain the higher or lower values?

Research question

• Formulate your research question
• Consider sources of PM air pollution in your area
• Smell and look around while cycling
• Check the led color of the sensor while cycling
• check your data while cycling -> change your research question?
